Carlton Football Club

Football Codes

Carlton Football Club, nicknamed the Blues, is a professional Australian rules football club based at Princes Park in Carlton North, an inner suburb of Melbourne, and a member of the Australian Football League. Founded in the 1860s, it played on parkland close to its current base and became one of the major football clubs of the city. It was a foundation member of the Victorian Football Association and won the first premiership in 1877. In 1896 it joined the breakaway Victorian Football League, now the AFL, and alongside Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond it is counted among the historical Big Four clubs. Its 16 VFL and AFL premierships are a joint record with Collingwood and Essendon. Carlton plays home matches at Docklands Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and its AFL Women's side has competed since 2017.
