Victorian State Football League

This article is about the governing body that operated between 1991 and 1999. For the reserves competition it ran, see AFL reserves. For the league known as the Victorian Football League until 1990, see Australian Football League.

The Victorian State Football League (VSFL) was an Australian rules football governing body.[1]

The VSFL was established at the end of 1991 to take over administration of football in Victoria from the Australian Football League, which was now becoming pre-occupied with administration of the game nationally.

The VSFL ran the AFL reserves competition from 1992 until 1999, which was also known as the VSFL from 1992 until 1994.[2] The body also ran the Under-18s competition now known as the TAC Cup. At the end of 1994, the VSFL took over administration of the Victorian Football Association competition (which it renamed the Victorian Football League in 1996).[3]

At the end of 1999, the VSFL was succeeded in an administrative capacity by Football Victoria (now known as AFL Victoria).
