1885 in Australian soccer
The 1885 season was the second season of competitive association football in Australia. The South British Football Soccer Association introduced their NSW football league (now known as the National Premier Leagues NSW).

The NSW state league began in 1885. Caledon won the annual championship as the remaining fixtures were not played.[1]
