  • Afl Riverina Competitions Review Terms of Reference – August 2018
    AFL RIVERINA COMPETITIONS REVIEW TERMS OF REFERENCE – AUGUST 2018 Background Governance Australian Rules Football has a rich heritage in the Riverina and Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) regions of Southern NSW and which dates back to the late 1800’s. Over that time there has been a number of changes to league names and competition structures. The Ganmain Football Association was formed in 1895 and then renamed the South West District Association in 1910. In 1969, under the administration of the then Victorian Country Football League (VCFL), the East Riverina District Association was formed by splitting off the eastern half of the Riverina. The Farrer Football League first formed in 1957 as a breakaway from the Albury & District Football League. Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook and Mangoplah-Cookardinia United competed in the first season. In 1958 all remaining clubs from the Albury & District Football League moved across to the new league. It was in 1982 that the Farrer Football League amalgamated with the South Western District Football League and the Central Riverina Football League in order to create the Riverina Football League and the Riverina District Football League, with the latter changing its name to the Farrer Football League in 1985. In 1995 the Farrer FL and the Riverina FL combined to be governed by a single governance model called the Murrumbidgee Valley Football Association. The South West Junior FL history back dates to the early 1990’s. Over time the current competitions of the Farrer Football Netball League and the Riverina Football Netball Leagues have evolved into what they are today. In November 2009, AFL Riverina was formed on the back of a review conducted by AFL NSW/ACT with the view to streamline the governance of Australian Rules Football and Netball in the region.
