The 2009 NAB Cup is the Australian Football League pre-season competition that was played before the Australian Football League's 2009 Premiership season begins. It culminated with the Final on 13 March 2009 played between Geelong and Collingwood and was won by Geelong. The Final was originally scheduled for 14 March 2009 but was moved by the AFL so that the match did not clash with the Sound Relief benefit concert for the Victorian bushfires.

Teams that are eliminated from the NAB Cup are scheduled to play against each other, mostly at regional venues, to provide all teams warm-up games for the main season and expose regional audiences to AFL level football.
