AFL Capricornia is an amateur Australian Rules Football competition played across Central Queensland between the months of March to September, which are the cooler months of the Queensland climate.
AFL Capricornia is an amateur Australian Rules Football competition played across Central Queensland between the months of March to September, which are the cooler months of the Queensland climate. Traditionally the Grand Final is held in Rockhampton at the "Rockhampton Cricket Ground" or occasionally at "Stenlake Park" (last in 2011), however Gladstone has twice held the Grand Final at "Clinton Park" (2004 & 2015).
It commenced as an informal, social competition in Rockhampton, and in 1972 the competition expanded with clubs playing in Rockhampton and Gladstone, and later variously Blackwater, Biloela, Boyne Island and Yeppoon. During the mid to late 1980's there were eight clubs in the competition.
Since 1994 there have been six clubs in the competition, with all clubs having their own grounds to train and play on. Every club currently is fielding teams in all nine competitions (A-Grade, Reserves, Women's, Under 17, Under 15, Under 13, Under 11, Under 9, & Under 7). It is the only competition in Queensland outside of Cairns and Brisbane to run a full league that includes seniors to juniors at all six clubs.
