Aussie Rules, as it is locally known is a fast paced ball spot - football. Its similar to Gaelic football in some terms, but really, it's a unique sport.
Spawning from the VFL (Victorian Football League) AFL is played throughout Australia. There is a Major team in every state (apart from TAS and the NT) that play in the 'AFL League'.
If you are coming to Australia during the Season (Winter season game) I urge you to get along to a match - You'll have more luck with frequent matches in Melbourne but you can catch a lot of games in teams home grounds like Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
I personally LOVE AFL - Born and raised in Victoria, saw me support this sport before I could walk myself.
Even if your a local in Australia, and you haven't been to a match - GO! You will have the best time.
