AFLUA Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame

The AFLUA Hall of Fame was created to provide the means by which the Association could recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions that members have made to the Association and to umpiring Australian Rules football.

The AFLUA Hall of Fame was officially launched in May 2008 when 99 inaugural inductees were admitted. A ballot was held in both 2010 and 2015, during which five inductees were elevated to the AFLUA Hall of Fame Legends in 2010 and two more in 2015.

The twelfth ballot was held in 2020 resulting in the election of 14 new members. The next intake is scheduled for 2023.
