1943 Victorian Senior Division Results

The season began as a 7 team competition. The newly-formed AIF (St Kilda) joined the League in Round Three. Nederlands B had to withdraw after Round Ten as many of their players were engaged in war work and became unavailable to play on Saturdays.

The newspapers did not mention the home ground of AIF (St Kilda), but it is very likely that Middle Park was the venue.
