This is a listing of Australian Football League (formerly known as the VFL) players listed by their families' country of origin (not to be confused with ethnicity). They may or may not have been born in Australia.
In 2004, the inaugural Multicultural Cup was held by the IAFC, a competition in which players who had a parent or grandparent born overseas were allowed to play for that country. The Multicultural Cup celebrates ethnicity that is vibrant in Australia, and in Australian rules football.
