Previously held across two events known as the Toyota AFL National Inclusion Carnival and the Toyota Wheelchair AFL National Championships, the 2024 Toyota AFL Open aims to elevate and strengthen the competitions by combining both into one major tournament.

More than 90 matches will run concurrently throughout the five-day event with the inclusion division utilising the grassed oval space and the wheelchair AFL games taking place on the indoor courts.
