The NAB AFL Draft returns to Sydney in 2016.
The draft will take place on Friday, November 25 at the Hordern Pavillion.
Sydney will also host the 2017 draft.
The draft had been a Melbourne institution since its inception in 1986, with Adelaide (1997) the only different venue used until 2010, when the event was taken to the Gold Coast to celebrate the Suns' admission to the League the following season.
Sydney last hosted the event in 2011, the year before Greater Western Sydney made its AFL debut.
Perth and Brisbane remain the only two major AFL cities never to host the showpiece.
