The 2007 NAB Cup was the pre-season competition of the Australian Football League's 2007 season. It culminated in the Grand Final on 17 March, which was won by Carlton.

Prize money

Winner: $220,000
Runner-up: $110,000
Round 3 losers: $55,000
Round 2 losers: $27,000
Round 1 losers: $16,500

$220,000 was awarded to the winning club (by comparison, the prize money for the winner of the 2005 AFL Grand Final was only slightly larger at $250,000). Smaller amounts were awarded to clubs based on participation and progression through the competition.

It was announced that if a club could win both the pre-season and regular premierships in the same season, that the club would receive a bonus $1 million. Half would be distributed among the players, while the other half would go to the club.{{cite news|url=http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,21210780%255E19742,00.html |title=Time to get serious in chase for $1m windfall |publisher=Herald Sun |date=12 February 2007 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070304042321/http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0%2C8033%2C21210780%5E19742%2C00.html |archive-date=4 March 2007 }}
