| Premiers | Carlton 1st premiership |
The 1877 Victorian Football Association season was the first in which the Australian rules football competition in Victoria was run under a properly constituted administrative body. The Association was formed with the view to governing the sport via a collective body, made up of delegates representing the clubs. It was the second such body to have been formed, the South Australian Football Association having been formed 17 days prior to the VFA.
Australian rules football had been played since the 1858, but had been administered in a less formal manner prior to the establishment of the VFA.
The inaugural VFA premiership was won by the Carlton Football Club.
