===Collingwood=== {{main|Carlton–Collingwood AFL rivalry}} Carlton possesses a long and bitter rivalry with {{AFL Col}}, with the rivalry considered to be one of the most historic and significant in [[Sport in Australia|Australian sport]], dating back to their spiteful 1910 Grand Final.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.brotherhoodbooks.org.au/books/great-australian-sporting-rivalries-9781760064488/|title=Great Australian Sporting Rivalries|work=Brotherhood Books|date=1 July 2013|author=Adam McNicol|quote=The big international rivalries that help to define us as a nation are covered: America’s Cup, Australia vs New Zealand in netball and rugby union, Shane Warne casting a spell over Daryll Cullinan. And the grand tales behind the national rivalries that hold us in thrall – '''Collingwood vs Carlton''' and New South Wales vs Queensland in rugby league – are there as well.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170305132339/https://www.brotherhoodbooks.org.au/books/great-australian-sporting-rivalries-9781760064488/|archive-date=5 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=83|title=That Other Great War|date=1 October 2008|work=Blueseum.org|quote=It has been on the boil for over 100 years. Born in the first decades of the VFL, and fanned into flames during the Great Depression and two world wars, it has broken marriages, split life-long friendships and started riots. It has been a focus of every level of Australian society – from Prime Ministers to pensioners, from Archbishops to barmaids. And it has been typified by some of the most controversial and passionate games of Australian football ever played. It is Carlton versus Collingwood – still the greatest and most enduring rivalry in Australian sport.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170305133037/http://www.blueseum.org/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=83|archive-date=5 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-season-2016-blues-versus-pies--is-the-deadly-enmity-dying-20160630-gpv7zv.html|date=1 July 2016|work=The Age|author=Greg Baum|title=AFL season 2016: Blues versus Pies – is the deadly enmity dying?|quote=Collingwood and Carlton share footy's longest-standing enmity. Many myths have grown up about the forces that shape it...The mythology has become harder to sustain...The fact is that the Collingwood-Carlton rivalry should by now have died, but has not. But for the sake of self-respect, if not existentially, it needs bigger stakes than mid-table consolidation, rescued pride and muted boasting rights. It needs a final, preferably knock-out, soon.}}</ref> They have met six times in [[AFL Grand Final|Grand Finals]], with Carlton successful in all bar the first. Carlton home matches between the club contest the [[Richard Pratt (Australian businessman)|Richard Pratt]] Cup, and Collingwood home matches are designated as the '''[[Peter MacCallum|Peter Mac]] Cup'''. They also share the same amount of premierships, at 16.
