ABOUT THE AFL QUEENSLAND SCHOOLS CUP

Introduced in 2016, the AFL Queensland Schools Cup is a premier schools competition that will see six schools crowned 2016 state champions.

The state-wide, interschool competition for boys and girls runs across three divisions; Primary, Junior (Years 7 – 9) and Senior (Years 10 – 12).

Schools have progressed through to finals via one of three formats;

• AFL Queensland Schools Cup: an in-term interschool competition
• AFL Queensland Schools Challenge: Easter School Holiday Carnival
• AFL Queensland Schools of Excellence Division:  an in-term interschool competition

Most schools chose to participate in the AFL Queensland School Cup format, consisting of regional pool games during term 1 where  winners progressed through to regional finals, then state finals.

AFL Queensland Schools Challenge Carnival and Schools of Excellence Division winners entered the competition at the qualifying and semi-final stages.

The competition culminates with three winning boys and three winning girls’ teams crowned AFL Queensland Schools Cup State Champions.
