V/Line Cup
V/Line Cup
The V/Line Cup is Victoria's premier under 15s championship competition for country boys and girls footballers.
For many Victorian country footballers and officials, the V/Line Cup provides a pathway to higher level talent programs such as the Coates Talent League and for some it is a step towards a career in the AFL or AFLW.
AFL Victoria would like to thank valued partners V/Line and the 2026 host, Latrobe City Council for helping us put the country Victoria stars of tomorrow on show.
All matches will be live streamed.
Divisions & Teams
The 2026 V/Line Cup will see a reduced number of teams competing, with AFL Goulburn Murray and AFL North East Border, combining to play under one united Murray Bushrangers team in each division. In previous years, Goulburn Murray and North East Border have competed separately.
This change sees the V/Line Cup regions align with the six representative AFL Talent League clubs that many participants will trial to represent in the coming years.
Each team will contest two matches over the three days, with 70 emerging umpires to officiate the competition.
The carnival will feature boys and girls teams representing the following regions; Bendigo Pioneers, Geelong Falcons, Gippsland Power, Murray Bushrangers, Greater Western Victoria Rebels and South East Stingrays.
