The North East Australian Football League is an Australian rules football league in New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory in Australia. It was formed in November 2010, and its inaugural competition was in 2011.[1]

The NEAFL is operated in two conferences: the Northern Conference, serving Queensland and the Northern Territory, and the Eastern Conference, serving New South Wales and the ACT. Teams from the two conferences play matches against each other throughout the home-and-away season, before each conference stages a separate finals competition to determine both a northern premier and an eastern premier. The two premiers then play each other in the NEAFL Grand Final.

[edit] History[]

The NEAFL was formed at the end of 2010 primarily as an amalgamation of the two major football leagues in Australia's north-east. The Queensland Australian Football League, based in South-East Queensland and including one team from the Northern Territory, became the Northern Conference; and AFL Canberra, based around ACT, and including one team from Sydney (the reserves team of the AFL's Sydney Swans) became the Eastern Conference. Two new teams also joined in 2011: the reserves team of Gold Coast Football Club (whose senior team joined the AFL in the same season); and the senior team of the Greater Western Sydney Football Club, which was preparing to join the AFL in 2012. These two clubs would have joined the QAFL and AFL Canberra respectively, had the NEAFL not been formed.

In 2012, two more clubs joined the Eastern Conference from the AFL Sydney competition: Sydney Hills and Sydney University. With Greater Western Sydney's senior team joining the AFL, its NEAFL side became a reserves team in partnership with, and under the name of the University of Western Sydney.
