The Carlton Football Club, nicknamed the Blues, is a professional Australian rules football club that competes in the Australian Football League (AFL), the sport's top professional competition.
Founded in 1864, in Carlton, an inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Carlton quickly became a dominant club in early Australian rules football competitions, and was a foundation member of the Victorian Football Association (VFA), winning the inaugural premiership in 1877. In 1896, Carlton joined the breakaway Victorian Football League (since renamed the AFL), and alongside rivals Collingwood, Essendon, and Richmond, is regarded as one of the league's historical "Big Four" clubs, having won sixteen VFL/AFL premierships, equal with Collingwood and Essendon as the most of any AFL club.
Carlton's headquarters and training facilities are located in Carlton North at Princes Park, its traditional home ground, and it currently plays its home matches at Docklands Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since 2017, Carlton has fielded a team in the AFL Women's, its best result thus far being a grand final loss in 2019. Carlton also has reserves sides in the Victorian Football League and VFL Women's.
