The sporting rivalry between the and Collingwood Football Clubs is the biggest and longest lasting rivalry in the Australian Football League (AFL). They have played 251 times in the VFL/AFL, with Carlton ahead with 125 wins to Collingwood's 122, & 4 draws. They have met six times in Grand Finals, with Carlton successful in all bar one of them.〔(Rivalry statistics )〕 Since 1993, one game each year is designated as the Peter Mac Cup game. ==Early matches== In 1864, the Carlton Football Club was established. In 1877, they were one of the founding clubs of the Victorian Football Association. In 1892, the Collingwood Football Club was established and admitted to the Association. Once the VFA agreed to accept Collingwood's bid to join the league, they realised that Collingwood had only 17 matches scheduled when a minimum of 18 was required. Collingwood looked unlikely to take part in the upcoming VFA season until Carlton's club secretary Jack Melville suggested a solution: Carlton were to cancel a scheduled match with South Ballarat and play an extra game against Collingwood.〔(The Way we Were: Carlton and Collingwood as friends )〕 On 7 May 1892, at Victoria Park, Collingwood and Carlton faced off for the first time, in Collingwood's first ever VFA match. Carlton won the match by one goal, 3.13 to 2.11. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlton–Collingwood AFL rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
