Australia's A-League Winners List
Here are the winners from each season in the top level football league in Australia, the A-League. The National Soccer League (NSL) was first established in 1977. From 1977 until 1983 the champion team was the one that finished at the top of the table at the end of the season. From 1984 (except in 1987), the champion team was the winner of a finals series (as is the case with most Australian sports).
