THE AFL has extended its partnership with car company Toyota for a further three years.

The new agreement will take the AFL-Toyota partnership out until at least the end of the 2019 season.

AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan announced the sponsorship extension with Toyota president Dave Buttner at the AFL Finals launch on Wednesday.

"Toyota is a highly-successful values-driven organisation that is determined to be the best and has been a fantastic partner for the AFL in our efforts to grow our game," McLachlan said.

"Our partnership has been great for Australian football and for Toyota and we hope to work together long into the future."

The new deal with Toyota will mean the company will have been the AFL's premier partner for 16 years when the three-year agreement expires in 2019.
