History of the Collingwood Football Club

The Collingwood Football Club is an Australian rules football club playing in the Australian Football League ('AFL').

Like many Victorian AFL clubs, Collingwood has a history extending back 130 years. It initially represented the inner Melbourne suburb of Collingwood, Victoria; however, its supporter base, while rooted in the city of Melbourne, extends throughout Australia. It has won 16 VFL/AFL premierships, being tied with Essendon and Carlton for the most number of premierships. The Club holds the record for most premierships in a row with 4 (1927–1930) and remains the only VFL club to have examined a full home and away season undefeated (1929).
