1st premiership

The 1873 South Australian football season was the eleventh year of interclub football in South Australia. It was notable due to the attempts of Kensington to create a standardised set of rules.[1] Partly due to this, Adelaide were in recess until 1875, meaning Kensington and Port Adelaide were the only teams competing in 1873.
