The annual dividend is a distribution from the AFL to the clubs from the profit that the AFL makes from; TV/media rights, revenue from finals series and ?internationals?, marketing activities, tribunal fines etc; all clubs get the same annual distribution ? same deal with the NRL clubs. The annual dividend accounts for around 15-20% of a typical AFL/NRL club?s revenue; one of the largest sources of income that a club receives. The head office distribution is far higher (in percentage terms) for the Super 12 teams.
