Club History

Est. 1864

One of the founding clubs of the VFL in 1897, Carlton hold the record for the most premierships in the competition's history with 16 flags. The Blues dominated the early decades before a golden era under Ron Barassi in the 1970s and David Parkin in the 1980s produced six flags in two decades. Carlton's last premiership came in 1995 under Parkin, but with 16 flags and a proud tradition at Princes Park and Ikon Park, the Navy Blues remain one of the game's most storied clubs.
