Premiership season
In 1932, the VFL competition consisted of twelve teams of 18 on-the-field players each, plus one substitute player, known as the 19th man. A player could be substituted for any reason; however, once substituted, a player could not return to the field of play under any circumstances.
Teams played each other in a home-and-away season of 18 rounds; matches 12 to 18 were the "home-and-way reverse" of matches 1 to 7.
Once the 18 round home-and-away season had finished, the 1932 VFL Premiers were determined by the specific format and conventions of the "Page-McIntyre system".

Main article: 1932 VFL Grand Final
Richmond defeated Carlton 13.14 (92) to 12.11 (83), in front of a crowd of 69,724 people. (For an explanation of scoring see Australian rules football).
Awards
- The 1932 VFL Premiership team was Richmond.
- The VFL's leading goalkicker was George Moloney of Geelong with 109 goals (all scored during the home-and-away season).
- The winner of the 1932 Brownlow Medal was Haydn Bunton, Sr of Fitzroy with 23 votes.
- Hawthorn took the "wooden spoon" in 1932.
Notable events
- In round 11, due to the effects of an extremely strong cross-wind that blew all day at the Lake Oval, the up-to-that-time-unbeaten South Melbourne lose to Collingwood, kicking an atrocious 5.17 (47) to their opponent's far more accurate 7.8 (50).
- After the match was over, it was revealed that Richmond wingman Alan Geddes had played the entire second half of the Grand-Final with a broken jaw.
