History
The Northern Tasmanian Football League (NTFL) was founded in 1987 to replace the former Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) - no relation to the current NTFA - and the North Western Football Union (NWFU) which suffered as a result of the defection of clubs joining the new TFL Statewide League in 1986.
In 1986, North Launceston and East Launceston joined the TFL Statewide League, with a third NTFA club, City-South merging with East Launceston midway through that season.
The NWFU lost Devonport and Burnie to the Statewide League at the conclusion of the 1986 season.
