Note:
In the 1928 Grand Final, St Marys won the first grand final but the game was ended with ten minutes to go.
Fingal protested and the Fingal FA determined that the game had to be replayed and it took place two weeks later.
In 1936 Avoca were awarded the premiership over Rovers after Rovers refused to play in the grand final replay after the original game was drawn.
Avoca Football Club went out of business in the off-season of 1989-90 owing to a lack of player numbers.
The 1989 Grand Final, which they won, was their final match.
The Greater Northern Football League (GNFL) was a competition played between the fifteen major football clubs across Northern Tasmania from the two major footballing bodies across the north of the state, the Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA), and the North West Football Union (NWFU) in 1981 and 1982.
Clubs included Cygnet (Lovett), Huonville (Picnic), Franklin, Kermandie (Liverpool), Channel and Kingston
Channel and Kingston entered the HFA in 1967.
The competition struggled during the 1990s and it was expected that the Association would amalgamate with the new STFL competition in 1996, however four clubs decided to remain loyal to the continuation of the Huon FA but Channel and Kingston defected to the new competition, the Huon FA folded at the end of the 1997 season with the remaining clubs also joining the STFL/SFL.
The final Huon Football Association match took place on 13 September 1997 when Franklin, in their final match, defeated Cygnet in the Grand Final at Huonville.
Huonville and Franklin merged to become the Huonville Lions in 1998, with Cygnet and Kermandie also having to adopt alternate playing uniforms and emblems upon joining the SFL.

Mount Farrell Football Association (1912–1936)[edit]
(Tullah Football Association)
As Tullah was in the early 20th century an isolated community, teams were made up from the township of Tullah only.
With the construction of the Murchison Highway in 1963 a combined Tullah team competed in the Rosebery FA, Murchison FA, and Western Tasmanian FA competitions at different times until folding in 1988.
The competition commenced in 1912.
Teams included: Rovers, Tigers, City, Tullah, Federal, Wanderers and Zeehan.
The Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) was an Australian rules football competition which ran from 1886 to 1986. In its time it was one of the three main leagues in Tasmania and was based in the Launceston and surrounding districts.
Two teams (North Launceston and East Launceston) were to field reserve grade teams at senior level in the competition in 1986 upon joining the TFL Statewide League with a third club – City-South – merging with East Launceston on 26 May 1986.
In 1987 the NTFA merged with the North West Football Union (NWFU) to form the Northern Tasmanian Football League, losing both North Launceston and the merged East Launceston/City-South (South Launceston) club.
The North West Football Union (NWFU) was an Australian rules football competition which ran from 1910 to 1986. In its time it was one of the three main leagues in Tasmania, with the Tasmanian Football League and Northern Tasmanian Football Association representing the rest of the state.
The NWFU ran until the end of the 1986 season when major clubs such as Cooee and Devonport defected to the TFL Statewide League. In 1987 the NWFU merged with the Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) to form the Northern Tasmanian Football League.
Oatlands District (Junior) Football Association (1932–1938)[edit]

Main Article: Peninsula Football Association
The Peninsula Football Association (PFA) was a league from the Tasman Peninsula area of Tasmania that operated between 1988 and 2001.
It was formed after the Nubeena Football Club withdrew from the Tasman FA.
In 2001, following Premaydena's inability to find players, the Association went into recess and promptly folded not long after, as did all member clubs.
The Peninsula FA was the only unaffiliated competition within the State of Tasmania for its entire existence.

Western Tasmanian Football Association (1964−1993)[edit]
Main Article: Western Tasmanian Football Association
The Western Tasmanian Football Association was a competition based on Tasmania's West Coast, and was mostly made up of miners that lived and worked in the area.
The Western Tasmanian FA was a continuation of the former Queenstown FA that operated between 1924 and 1963.
With the closure of the Mt Lyell Mine in 1994, the loss of miners in the region meant the demise of the competition.
Queenstown (an amalgamation of City and Smelters in 1977) and Lyell-Gormanston (an amalgamation of the Lyell Maroons and Gormanston in 1976) amalgamated in 1994 to become Queenstown Crows and joined the Darwin FA.
Zeehan Bulldogs joined another North Western competition but collapsed a few years later whilst Rosebery and Toorak (who had amalgamated in 1987) had already jumped ship prior to the competition's demise and had joined the North West FA.
