The Oregon Intercollegiate Football Association (OIFA) was the pioneer governing committee which coordinated games of football between various colleges in the American state of Oregon. The committee agreed upon common rules of play, scheduled games, and provided a framework for an annual champion in the years 1893 and 1897.[1]

The conference was relaunched for the 1899 season but was abruptly scuttled by the withdrawal on November 14 of two league teams over allegations that Willamette University had enrolled "ringers" for the sole purpose of playing football.
