The 1895 MJFA season was the 4th season of the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA).[1]

South St Kilda won the MJFA premiership for the third year in a row, having finished first on the ladder at the end of the season.[2] St Mary's finished in second place.[3]

Association membership

[edit]

Like the previous season in 1894, a total of 10 teams competed in the MJFA.[4] Toorak-Grosvenor withdrew and folded during the 1894 season, and a club called Fitzroy Wesleys played at least one game in Toorak-Grosvenor's place.[5] Fitzroy Wesleys did not return in 1895, with Waltham admitted into the association.[6]
