The Gippsland League finals will commence on August 28th with the four week finals series to decide the 2021 premierships. The finals will take place as originally scheduled despite the numerous interruptions to the home and away season schedule. Gippsland League has taken on feedback and requests from other local Leagues and worked in with these requests to help football and netball in the region produce their finals series at the premier venues. The finals venue allocations are listed below.

The Gippsland League gave all member clubs an opportunity to put in an expression of interest to host a finals series matchday at their home and away season venue. Despite a limited response, the League created two options for recommendation to the governance sub-committee for review. These options were evaluated, and adjusted to take into account additional feedback from the member club presidents around a strong desire to have the senior football minor premier have the ability to play at their home venue* for the second semi-final.
Clubs that operate the hosting venue will be required to complete and execute the requirements to gain a permit for a tier 2 event under COVID restrictions that will allow the venues to have crowds of over 1000 people. This includes factors such as fencing of venues, defined entry and exit points, sectioned areas to make venues compliant for crowds, COVID marshalling and the overall facility preparation for the events.
