The 2014 Victorian Football League season is the 133rd season of the Victorian Football Association/Victorian Football League Australian rules football competition. The premiership was won by the Footscray Bulldogs, the reserves team of the Australian Football League's Western Bulldogs which was competing in its first season in the VFL, after it defeated Box Hill by 22 points in the Grand Final on 21 September; it was the first senior VFL premiership won by the Footscray reserves team, and it was the tenth senior VFA/VFL premiership won by the Footscray/Western Bulldogs Football Club overall.

Association membership

The Association increased from fourteen teams to sixteen teams in 2014, following the end of two VFL-AFL affiliations:

The Development League was reduced from ten teams to nine, with North Ballarat withdrawing its team;[4] this left only the nine metropolitan VFL clubs competing in the seconds competition, with all five AFL clubs and both regional VFL clubs (North Ballarat and Bendigo) absent.

Foxtel Cup

The top two non-AFL teams from the 2013 VFL season Box Hill and Williamstown competed in the 2014 Foxtel Cup. Williamstown won the competition, defeating WAFL team West Perth in the Grand Final.
