An imperfect season (more accurately, an anti-perfect season or a perfectly bad season) is defined as a team losing all of its games. It is the antithesis of a perfect season, and is often referred to as such in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Excluding seasons of seven or fewer games, this ignominy has been suffered eleven times in professional American football, six times in arena football, thrice in professional Canadian football, once each in American professional lacrosse and box lacrosse, more than twenty-five times in major Australian football leagues, thirteen times in top-level rugby league, at least twice in top-level rugby union, and twice in English county cricket.
