The Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) was an Australian rules football competition for clubs from South East Queensland.
Up until 2010, the QAFL was the premier semi-professional competition in Queensland, with salary cap rules and regulations in place.
It was previously known as the Queensland Football League (QFL), Queensland Australian National Football League (QANFL), Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) and AFL Queensland State League (AFLQSL).
In November 2010 the league's Premier Division merged with AFL Canberra to form the North East Australian Football League, featuring all its previous teams as well as the Gold Coast Football Club reserve team in the Northern Conference of the league. The lower division clubs will continue to play as a local competition.

“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
