The 1887 South Australian Football Association season was the 11th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.
1887 saw Gawler, Hotham and West Adelaide join the SAFA with the last of those bearing no relation to the modern day West Adelaide Bloods.
Adelaide were on an interstate trip to Victoria to play their first ever game on the MCG.
Port Adelaide's score of 17.27 (17) was the highest total ever at the time in South Australian league football.
