INTRODUCTION
Social football on an organised basis in the Launceston area dates from 1866. A Northern Football Association was formed in 1882, comprising Launceston (the oldest club in Tasmania), Longford and City clubs, but was short lived. However, the idea of inter-colonial and North versus South matches had already been introduced (in 1881 and 1883 respectively).
The Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) was formed on 16 April 1886 with two senior teams, Launceston and City, and nine junior teams, Longford Juniors, Second Launceston, Second City, Inveresk, Britannia, Alberts, Orpheus, Union Firsts, and United Templars. The number, names and fortunes of the teams subsequently varied. In the late 1890s football in Tasmania was at a low ebb and to assist the game in the North, the NTFA's administration was taken over by the Northern Tasmanian Cricket Association from 1900 to 1914. By 1925, the NTFA included only Launceston, City and North Launceston. Longford joined as a senior team in 1926, and Scottsdale and East Launceston (formerly known as Cornwall) in 1948.
By 1962 there were four 'city' teams (North Launceston, Launceston, East Launceston and City- South) and two 'country' teams (Longford and Scottsdale), although George Town and Deloraine were admitted in 1984. The NTFA celebrated its centenary in 1986, but folded shortly afterwards. Issues contributing to its demise included changing social patterns, decline in match attendance figures, financial difficulties, pressures associated with VFL and Statewide football competitions, state and national control, and regional protectiveness.
The collection was donated to the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in May 1995, with additional material added in 2015 and 2016.
