It was reported on Friday afternoon that the League had struck a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Victoria Police to share any records gathered on AFL identities, including photographic and video evidence.
But in a statement released late on Friday night, the League said the suggestion that it had sought to receive private information about AFL identities was "completely and utterly wrong".
"The AFL has never sought nor has been given any police dossiers, photos, files, videos, films or secret reports by the Victoria Police," the statement read.
"The AFL is subject to the same privacy laws as any other organisation and we abide by them and AFL players, participants and officials receive the same protections under privacy laws as any other person in this state.
"The MOU was the formalisation of a long-standing commitment by the AFL to cooperate with any police inquiry and established a single point of contact both within the Victoria Police and the AFL as the central people to contact should there be any serious criminal matter involving an AFL player or official."
