The competition began as the VFL (Victorian Football League) in 1897.
However, in 1990, its name was changed to the AFL (Australian Football League), since other, interstate clubs had also joined the newly-formed, national league. Although it was always running VFL Grand Finals prior to this change, it has also continued to run them as AFL Grand Finals ever since its name change.

Footscray (currently, the Western Bulldogs). This has been the club's only Premiership to date. I believe the team defeated Melbourne that year in the Grand Final.
The modern Olymplics began in 1896; therefore it has been running, intermittently, for 112 years.
