About us

The Chicago Australian Football Association (CAFA) is a not-for-profit organization promoting Australian Rules Football (Aussie Rules) as well as Australian culture in the greater Chicago area.

The CAFA competes in organized matches sanctioned by the Chicago Metro Footy League, Mid-American Australian Football League, and the United States Australian Football League and organizes several social functions and community activities throughout the calendar year.

The CAFA is open to all skill levels and anyone is welcome to participate in training sessions, metro competitions and especially social functions.

We train and play at the Waveland softball fields (3600 N Recreation Dr, Chicago, IL, 60657).  Training is most Wednesdays from 6pm-dark, Metro games are Friday nights from 6pm-dark and United/MAAFL games are a few Saturday’s through the season.  Check the schedule for game and training times.
