As the Pies prepare for their 45h VFL/AFL Grand Final, Collingwood Media looks back on the Club’s history of premiership glory.

In its 131-year history, Collingwood has collected a total of 27 premierships across senior, reserve and under-19 grades. The club won its only VFA premiership in its fifth and final year in the competition before switching to the newly formed VFL for the 1897 season.

It has since won 15 VFL/AFL premierships, second only to Carlton and Essendon (16). The Magpies have played in more Grand Finals (44) than any other team, appearing in the decider on an average of once every two and a half years.

The most recent premiership was in 2010, with the flag secured in the replayed game after a draw the first time around. 2010 was the second time the Club had played in a drawn Grand Final, after it happened in 1977 against North Melbourne.
