The Collingwood Football Club, also known as the Magpies, or the Pies, is a professional Australian Rules Football club founded in 1892 that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL), formerly the Victorian Football League (VFL).
The Collingwood FC began in the Melbourne suburb from which it gets its name and played in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) before joining the seven other teams that founded the breakaway Victorian Football League.
The club was originally based at Victoria Park, but now (in 2023) plays its home games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), and they compete in both AFL (Senior Men)/ AFLW (Senior Women), and VFL (Reserves Men)/ VFLW (Reserves Women) where VFL in this instance is a second-tier, regional, semi-professional competition, not the premier league that became the AFL in 1990 after having expanded competition to other Australian states in the 1980s..
Premierships won to date (2023-07) have been: VFA/VFL (1) 1896; VFL/AFL (15) 1902, 1903, 1910, 1917, 1919, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1935, 1936, 1953, 1958, 1990, 2010
The Team's colours are black and white.
