1873 South Australian football season
The 1873 South Australian football season was the eleventh year of interclub football in South Australia. It was notable due to the attempts of Kensington to create a standardised set of rules.[1] Partly due to this, Adelaide were in recess until 1875, meaning Kensington and Port Adelaide were the only teams competing in 1873.
