The AFL Commission is the official governing body of the Australian Football League (AFL), the elite national Australian rules football competition.
The AFL Commission is responsible for the administration of the competition and its constitution proclaims it as the "keeper of the code", the body universally responsible for the sport of Australian Football. Since forming in 1985, the AFL Commission has become increasingly wealthy and powerful and has had control of the sport in Australia since 1993 and internationally since 2005.
There are eight members that comprise the AFL Commission who are elected by the 18 AFL clubs, with each club entitled to make nominations.

Famous quotes containing the word commission:
“It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
