AFL team rivalries are matches in the Australian Football League which typically draw large crowds and interest regardless of both teams positions on the ladder. The AFL encourages the building of such rivalries, as a method of increasing publicity for the league, to the point of designating one round each year as Rivalry Round where many of these match-ups are held on the one weekend.

Since 2003, the AFL markets one weeks fixtures to be Rivalry Round. In 2007 it was held in Round 3, with the following results and a total attendance of 344,536, the 4th highest attended round of all time.
