The 1900 VFL season was the fourth season of the Victorian Football League (VFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Victoria. The season featured eight clubs and ran from 5 May to 22 September, comprising a 14-round home-and-away season followed by a finals series featuring all eight clubs.
Melbourne won the premiership, defeating Fitzroy by four points in the 1900 VFL grand final; it was Melbourne's first VFL premiership. Fitzroy won its second consecutive minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with an 11–3 win–loss record. Geelong's Teddy Lockwood and Essendon's Albert Thurgood tied for the leading goalkicker medal as the league's leading goalkickers.
Background
In 1900, the VFL competition consisted of eight 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 14 rounds.
Once the 14 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1900 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the 1898 VFL Premiership System.
