Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Australian rules football season
The 1920 VFL season was the 24th season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured nine clubs, ran from 1 May until 2 October, and comprised a 16-game home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring the top four clubs.
The premiership was won by the Richmond Football Club for the first time, after it defeated Шаблон:AFL Col by 17 points in the 1920 VFL Grand Final.
Background
In 1920, the VFL competition consisted of nine teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.
Each team played each other twice in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds (i.e., 16 matches and 2 byes).
Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1920 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus system".

Finals series
All of the 1920 finals were played at the MCG so the home team in the semi-finals and preliminary final is purely the higher ranked team from the ladder but in the Grand Final the home team was the team that won the preliminary final.

Grand final
Season notes
- All Round 5 games were played on Wednesday, 26 May, to coincide with a visit by the Prince of Wales.[1]
- After only three VFL games, Carlton's half-forward Horrie Clover was selected in the Victorian team that narrowly beat South Australia 10.11 (71) to 9.12 (66) in a match played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of the Prince of Wales.
- Richmond's recruit from Kyabram, Billy James, aged 20, played his first senior game in the Grand Final, and kicked the final goal of the match (his only goal) in the last quarter. He badly injured his foot in a rabbit shooting accident before the start of the 1921 season, and never played again.
- At the end of the season, tired with the constant internal dissent at St Kilda, Roy Cazaly was granted a clearance to South Melbourne.
- Vic Cumberland, after four years away from football (he had been wounded three times in World War I), played 10 senior games for St Kilda in 1920, aged 43, making him the oldest player in VFL/AFL history.
- In Round 17, in the process of kicking 8.25 (73) in its 3-point loss to Geelong, South Melbourne hit the post nine times.
- Unable to tolerate the increasing levels of assaults, thrown projectiles, and ground invasions, umpires threatened to go on strike unless given stronger police protection.
Awards
- The 1920 VFL Premiership team was Richmond.
- The VFL's leading goalkicker was George Bayliss of Richmond with 63 goals.
- St Kilda took the "wooden spoon" in 1920.
- The Victorian Junior League premiership, which is today recognised as the VFL reserves premiership, was won by Шаблон:AFL Col's team, Collingwood District, for the second straight year. Collingwood District 7.14 (56) defeated University 7.2 (44) in the final, played as a curtain-raiser to the senior Preliminary Final on 25 September at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[2]
