The 2013 VFL season was the 132nd of the Victorian Football League (VFL), a second-tier Australian rules football competition played in the state of Victoria. The premiership was won by Box Hill who defeated Geelong by 21 points in the Grand Final.[1]

League membership and affiliations

Prior to the 2013 season, Essendon ended its ten-year reserves affiliation with the Bendigo Football Club. Essendon began fielding its own reserves team in the VFL, and Bendigo continued to contest the VFL as a stand-alone senior team.[2]

Foxtel Cup

The top two non-AFL clubs from the 2012 VFL season – Port Melbourne and Werribee – competed in the 2013 Foxtel Cup. Werribee progressed the further of the two teams, losing its semi-final against WAFL club East Fremantle.
