List of Australian rules footballers and cricketers information
Tom Wills, champion cricketer and co-founder of Australian rules football
This is a listing of players to have played both Australian rules football in the nation's premier leagues and first-class cricket or higher. These leagues are the Australian Football League (AFL) (formerly the VFL), AFL Women's (AFLW), West Australian Football League (WAFL) and South Australian National Football League (SANFL). First-class cricketers who played football in other states are eligible if they had a notable career in that state's top league.
In the early years of the VFL it was quite common for footballers to play district cricket over the summer months, some of them even made their state sides and others represented Australia. Likewise cricketers would often play football in the off season to keep fit and if good enough would appear in their state's best league.
Players are divided into the lists below by which state they spent the majority of their sporting career or in come cases their state or origin.
