The 1922 MAFA season was the 27th season of the Metropolitan Amateur Football Association (MAFA), an Australian rules football competition played in the state of Victoria.[1] The season began on 6 May and concluded on 26 August, comprising a home-and-away season, followed by a three-week finals series.[2][3]

For the first time, clubs were split into two divisions − A Section and B Section.[4] No promotion and relegation system was in place, with the top four teams from each division playing in a finals series.[5]

University B won the MAFA premiership for the second time and the second year in a row, defeating Collegians in the 1922 MAFA Grand Final.[6][7]
