Foxtel Cup
Encyclopedia
The League Championship Cup (officially branded under the sponsor's name – the Foxtel Cup) is an Australian rules football
club knockout cup competition
involving clubs from the various state league competitions from around Australia – plus the AFL
's newest expansion side Greater Western Sydney Giants.
Its purpose is to support and promote the second-tier Australian rules football
competitions and to provide another way of developing the lower-tier AFL players. The tournament is being organised by the Australian Football League
(AFL).
The competition began on 26 March 2011 and ran through to August. Matches are played as curtain-raisers to AFL Saturday night games and are screened on Fox Sports
in a late-afternoon slot between afternoon and night AFL matches. Prizemoney for the competition is about $250,000, with $40,000 going to the winner.
Clubs are required to play during byes in their respective state league fixture, effectively meaning they forfeit their weeks off. The AFL and Foxtel cover the travel costs of clubs but offer little prizemoney or payments for players.
The AFL originally invited the three highest ranked teams from the South Australian National Football League
, the Victorian Football League
and the West Australian Football League
; the top two teams from the Queensland Australian Football League
; and the top team from AFL Sydney
and the Tasmanian Football League
. The Northern Territory Football Club
and Greater Western Sydney Football Club received special invitations.
However, despite the SANFL on 9 December 2010 signing on to be part of the Cup competition, opposition to the proposal came from its top three clubs Central District, Norwood
and Woodville-West Torrens
. The three clubs were given until 14 December 2010 to reconsider with the SANFL willing to extend invitations to its next best teams from 2010 if its top three clubs refused to participate. After the top five SANFL clubs released a joint statement on 15 December 2010 declining the invitation to participate in the Cup competition, citing lack of prizemoney, sponsorship conflicts, salary cap implications, schedule concerns and removing the focus from their SANFL premiership ambitions, their places were taken up by fellow SANFL clubs West Adelaide
, North Adelaide and Port Adelaide Magpies.
The AFL gave the Cup competition the go ahead on 17 December 2010 with the fixture released publicly. The official name of the tournament – Foxtel Cup, finalised fixture and participating teams were formalised on 9 February 2011 by the AFL.
The AFL announced on 1 August 2011 that public interest and television audiences well-supported the inaugural year of the Foxtel Cup and as a result the competition would continue for the next five years.
Williamstown
became the inaugural Foxtel Cup champions when they defeated Claremont
by 21 points in the Grand Final at Patersons Stadium
on 6 August 2011. Williamstown midfielder Ben Jolley
won the Coles Medal as best afield for his game-high 30 possessions and eight clearances.
