The Australian Football League North East Border Female Football League (AFL NEB FFL) is a Women's Australian rules football competition based in the greater North East Victoria region of Victoria, Australia.

History

[edit]

The league was established in 2015 as a pathway for young girls who wanted to continue playing football after Auskick but were unable to compete in traditional male leagues across the region.[2] Since its inception the league has grown to seven clubs and two competitions, one for women aged 13 to 16, and a second open-age competition for women aged 17 years and over.
