The 1877 St Kilda Football Club season was the inaugural season in the club's history competing in the 1877 VFA season.[1]
Background
The 1877 Victorian Football Association season was the first in which the Australian rules football competition in Victoria was run under a properly constituted administrative body; which was formed with the view to governing the sport via a collective body, made up of delegates representing the clubs.[2]
The association was made up of five inaugural metropolitan senior clubs (St Kilda being one of them), and a number of provincial senior teams from across the state.[3]
VFA season
League table
The VFA did not officially endorse a system of ranking the clubs until the 1888 season.[4]
