It is widely regarded as the strongest regional Australian rules football league in [[Queensland]] and has a large base at [[Cazaly's Stadium]] which has staged [[Australian Football League]] matches. The league has significant coverage in local media such as [[The Cairns Post]]. Each year the [[Grand Final]] attracts between 2,000-3,000 spectators. The CAFL major end of season award is the Paul Buller medal and is awarded to the player with the most votes at the end of the regular season. The Paul Buller medal was formed after the Townsville sporting great moved up to change the competition. He played pretty the game with determination and strength. ==History== An article in the Cairns Post on 3 September 1885 on page 3 titled "Football Match" describes a game of football played at the then cricket grounds, believed to have been in the precinct around Munro Martin Park and the Civic Theatre. This game was between Cairns, led by Jack MacNamara (believed to have been a representative of Victoria at first intercolonial match) and Townsville, led by F Rendall. References are made of "Little Marks" and the final score after 2 hours was Cairns, 1 goal 7 behinds to Townsville, 1 goal 3 behinds. The Cairns umpire was AJ Draper. The Cairns team was :- Jack MacNamara, Tom Swallow, J Swallow, "Little" Draper, Reid, Crawford, Field, Campbell, Warren, Harrison, McClelland, Oldham, Rev.Nobbs, Grcnsen, J.Loridan, Bulcock, Wood, Ärmstrong, C.Loridan, Johnstone, D. Wall, Middlebrook, Schumhronk, Dent, McCarthy, Hogarth. T. H. LAKE was the secretary.<ref>http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?l-title=Cairns+Post+%28Ql...%7Ctitleid%3A60&fromyyyy=1884&frommm=02&fromdd=14&toyyyy=1893&tomm=05&todd=20&q=Football</ref> The modern league as we now know it formed in 1956 and a local schoolboy competition was also formed resulting in a junior representative trip to Townsville by plane. In 1957 the ANFC, through [[Bruce Andrew]], purchased land in Cairns for the first dedicated field in regional Queensland which became [[Cazaly's Stadium]]. The initial Senior competition had only two teams, Norths and Souths. This has since expanded to seven teams. Around 2000, the league affiliated with the [[Australian Football League]] and was re-branded AFL Cairns. The league has grown rapidly in recent years with the ongoing development of Cazaly's Stadium, the success of the Queensland-based [[Brisbane Lions]], and with Cairns hosting exhibition [[Australian Football League]] matches and later matches for premiership points. The league introduced a [[Women's Footy]] competition in 2002.<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/northqld/stories/s1393281.htm Women pull on the jersey] from ABC North Queensland</ref> ===2004 Grand Final brawl=== In the 2004 Grand Final between the North Cairns Tigers and the [[Port Douglas AFC|Port Douglas Crocs]], a wild and violent bench-clearing brawl <ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2004/s1203277.htm PM - AFL yet to decide fate of brawling players<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/news/AFL/Eightyear-ban-for-exSwan/2005/02/23/1109046993483.html Eight-year ban for ex-Swan - AFL - www.smh.com.au<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> erupted after Tigers players charged at their opponents at the end of the pre-match national anthem, and escalated when spectators and team officials became involved. This caused widespread media publicity around Australia, and sparked the biggest investigation in the history of Australian Rules Football. The instigator, former VFL/AFL player and Tigers coach Jason Love, was suspended for eight years (three years for a string of charges arising from the melee, including striking three opposition players and abusing and threatening the field umpires when they went to report him, and five years for bringing the game of AFL in Queensland into disrepute), and the 22 North Cairns players were suspended for a total of 400 matches, with suspensions ranging from 10 matches to five years, for various charges in relation to starting the brawl. AFL Cairns declared the Grand Final a "no result" and withheld the 2004 premiership. ===Manunda Hawks Omission from 2015 season=== The Manunda Hawks forfeited a game in [[Port Douglas]] due to the concern for the safety of a player that was threatened via social media. The league reacted by suspending the club for the 2015 season. ==AFL Players== Notable players from the AFL Cairns who went on to play at VFL/AFL level include [[Colin Judd]] ([[Hawthorn Football Club|Hawthorn]]), [[Craig Brittain]] ([[North Melbourne Football Club|North Melbourne]]), [[Troy Clarke (Australian rules footballer)|Troy Clarke]], ([[Brisbane Bears]]), [[Mark West (footballer)|Mark West]] ([[Western Bulldogs]]), [[Charlie Dixon (Australian footballer)|Charlie Dixon]] ([[Gold Coast Suns|Gold Coast]]), [[Rex Liddy]], [[Che Cockatoo-Collins]], [[Donald Cockatoo-Collins]], [[David Cockatoo-Collins]], [[Jason Roe (footballer)|Jason Roe]], [[Courtenay Dempsey]] and [[Jarrod Harbrow]]. ==Premiers== {{col-start}} {{col-break}} *1956 South Cairns *1957 Tinaroo Falls *1958 North Cairns *1959 North Cairns *1960 Aloomba *1961 Babinda *1962 Babinda *1963 Souths/Balaclava *1964 Souths/Balaclava *1965 Souths/Balaclava *1966 Souths/Balaclava *1967 Centrals/Aloomba *1968 Souths/Balaclava *1969 Centrals/Aloomba *1970 Babinda *1971 Souths/Balaclava *1972 Souths/Balaclava *1973 Centrals/Aloomba *1974 Centrals/Aloomba *1975 Centrals/Aloomba {{col-break}} *1976 North Cairns *1977 North Cairns *1978 Centrals/Aloomba *1979 Centrals/Aloomba *1980 North Cairns *1981 North Cairns *1982 City United *1983 City United *1984 North Cairns *1985 North Cairns *1986 North Cairns *1987 Manunda Hawks *1988 North Cairns *1989 Centrals/Trinity Beach *1990 Centrals/Trinity Beach *1991 Port Douglas *1992 Centrals/Trinity Beach *1993 Centrals/Trinity Beach *1994 Cairns Saints *1995 Cairns Saints {{col-break}} *1996 Cairns Saints *1997 Centrals/Trinity Beach *1998 Cairns Saints *1999 Cairns Saints *2000 Cairns Saints *2001 Port Douglas *2002 Cairns Saints *2003 South Cairns *2004 ''No Result'' *2005 Port Douglas *2006 Manunda Hawks *2007 Manunda Hawks *2008 Cairns Saints *2009 Cairns Saints *2010 Cairns Saints *2011 Manunda Hawks *2012 Cairns Saints *2013 Cairns Saints *2014 Port Douglas {{col-end}} ==Grounds/Venues== *Port Douglas Sporting Complex (Port Douglas Crocs) *[[Fretwell Park]] ([[South Cairns Cutters]]) *[[Cazaly's Stadium]] (Manunda Hawks) *Watsons Oval (North Cairns Tigers) *Crathern Park (Centrals Bulldogs) *Holloways Beach Sporting Complex (Cairns City Lions) *Griffiths Park (Cairns Saints) *Power Park (Pyramid Power) *Redlynch State College Oval (Junior Training) ==Clubs== ===Current=== {| class="navbox wikitable sortable" style="width:90%; text-align:left |- !
