The Tamworth Australian Football League is an Australian rules football competition in the Tamworth and New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The league began as a "pub competition" in Tamworth in 1997, with four 12-a-side teams, but has since grown to a regional league with seven teams based in six towns.
Prior to the establishment of the Tamworth AFL, there had been two other leagues in the area, the New England AFL, which folded after the 1984 season - and the North West AFL, which folded after the 1993 season.

Famous quotes containing the words australian, football and/or league:
“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
