Results and statistics for the VFL/AFL season of 1966.

Premiership season

In 1966, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus two substitute players, known as the 19th man and the 20th man. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.

Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 7.

Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1966 VFL "Premiers" were determined by the specific format and conventions of the "Page-McIntyre system".

Awards

* The 1966 VFL Premiership team was St Kilda Football Club (its first premiership since the VFL's formation in 1897).

* The winner of the 1966 Brownlow Medal was Ian Stewart of St Kilda with 21 votes.
* Fitzroy took the "wooden spoon" in 1966.

Notable Events

* At pre-season training in mid-April, at the behest of Collingwood coach Bob Rose, Collingwood club secretary Jack Burns informs Duncan Wright that his services are no longer required at Collingwood. (See Duncan Wright and John Somerville.)
* Richmond, under coach Tom Hafey, train pre-season with Percy Cerutty at his facilities in Portsea, Victoria.
* At the end of the season South Melbourne's captain-coach, Bob Skilton, resigns as coach in the belief that he can do more for the club by continuing to lead the players on the field.
