The 1929 Victorian Football League season was the 33rd season of the elite Australian rules football competition.

Premiership season

In 1929, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, with no "reserves", although any of the 18 players who had left the playing field for any reason could later resume their place on the field at any time during the match.

Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 7.

Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1929 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the amended "Argus system".

Finals

All of the 1929 finals were played at the MCG so the home team in the Semi Finals and Preliminary Final is purely the higher ranked team from the ladder but in the Grand Final the home team was the team that won the Preliminary Final.

Notable events

• {{AFL Col}} set many records during the 1929 season, including:
  • First team to remain undefeated through an entire home-and away season (never matched, although {{AFL Ess}} came close — with just one loss — in 2000). However, given that they lost the second semi-final to Richmond, they were not undefeated for the entire season.
  • In three seasons, 1927, 1928, and 1929, the team had played 61 matches, for 53 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses.
  • First team to score more than 2,000 points in a single season.
  • First team to have a full-forward scoring more than 100 goals in a single season.
  • First team to have a player kick 16 goals in a single match.
  • First team to be VFL premiers on eight occasions.
• On 18 June 1929 the VFL was incorporated as a public company, and it purchased a three-storey building (later named Harrison House after Henry Harrison who died later that year, on 2 September) on the corner of Spring Street and Flinders Lane.
• Clarrie Hearn of Essendon won the 1929 130-yard Stawell Gift in eleven and fifteen sixteenths of a second (approx. 11.94 seconds), off a handicap of 10 yards.
• Footscray’s 23 effective scoring shots (7 goals and 16 behinds) against Hawthorn in the third quarter of their Round 6 match remains the most scoring shots by a team in one quarter.
  • Footscray’s 16 behinds in that quarter has been equalled only by Collingwood against North Melbourne in the third quarter in the same round of 1970.
