1950 Brisbane Carnival

The 1950 Brisbane Carnival was the 11th edition of the Australian National Football Carnival, an Australian rules football interstate competition. It was the first carnival to be hosted in Queensland.

Rain was a constant throughout the carnival and as a result most games were held on a soggy Brisbane Exhibition Ground. Several of the matches were played at night using a white ball.

Section A consisted of the usual big three teams, the VFL, South Australia and Western Australia. The Tasmanian team joined them, having qualified through winning Section B of the 1947 Carnival and a team representing the VFA competed in the top section for the first time, as they were now full members of the Australian National Football Council. The VFA would go on to defeat South Australia by eight points in what was the biggest upset of the tournament.

The VFL finished the carnival unbeaten to claim the Championship.
