Gridiron Victoria is the governing body for American Football in the State of Victoria, Australia. Formed in 1997, Gridiron Victoria was an amalgamation of the two existing governing bodies of the time: the Victoria Gridiron Football League and the Gridiron Association of Victoria.
The Vic Bowl is the Final Game played between the two best teams throughout the Gridiron Victoria Season. The Juniors Championship game is known as the Jr Vic Bowl. Both games have been renamed the TGI Fridays Vic Bowl to reflect a recent sponsorship arrangement.
The Monash Warriors are the most decorated club with 9 Senior Vic Bowls and 2 Junior Vic Bowls, their most recent in 2013 with 30 - 13 win over the Geelong Buccaneers. The most accomplished Junior team is the Croydon Rangers winning it 6 times with their most recent win coming in 2012 with a 34 - 0 win over the Monash Warriors.

Victorian Gridiron Officials Association Best & Fairest Trophy
This perpetual award is presented to the player who displays the highest levels of gridiron skill throughout the senior season together with high levels of fairness and sportsmanship encouraged by the rules of the sport.
Three, two and one votes are allocated by the officiating crews at the conclusion of each senior match and these are totalled at the end of the regular season allowing the recipient to be determined.
