The Community Cup (known as the Reclink Community Cup since 2009 under naming rights) is an annual charity event which features a celebrity mixed-gender Australian rules football match. It is noted for its cult following, celebrity appearances and media profile. First run in Melbourne in 1993, it has since expanded nationally, being hosted in Sydney (2012-), Adelaide and Perth/Fremantle (2015-), Hobart and Brisbane (2016-). And Canberra (2017)
Its origins date back to 1993 in Melbourne with the formation of social teams composed of radio station employees (Megahertz) and musicians (Rockdogs). The first match was played in Melbourne and was later played each year during the Australian Football League (AFL) split round. The Melbourne event remains the most popular, attracting a crowd of around 12,000 each year and raising around $250,000 for Reclink Australia.
In contrast to today's strict AFL codes of conduct the Reclink Community Cup is promoted as embracing grassroots community amateur football and as a result it is promoted as "kid and dog friendly" with quarter and half time pitch invasions for traditional kick-to-kick.
