List of provincial clubs in the Victorian Football Association
# List of provincial clubs in the Victorian Football Association

In the first decade of the Victorian Football Association (VFA), a number of provincial clubs were full administrative members of the association, but never played enough games against other clubs to be considered relevant in the premiership. These clubs were active from the first VFA season in 1877 until.

Notably, a number of 'junior teams' also competed alongside senior sides.

Almost all of these clubs folded after a single season, however a number still exist to this day and compete in local football leagues, including three in the Bendigo Football Netball League.
