The 2014 AFL Tasmania TSL premiership season was an Australian rules football competition staged across Tasmania, Australia over eighteen home and away rounds and six finals series matches between 5 April and 21 September.

The League was known as the RACT Insurance Tasmanian State League under a commercial naming-rights sponsorship agreement with the motoring insurance company.

Three clubs exited the competition ahead of the 2014 season - reigning premiers South Launceston, as well as North Hobart and Hobart. They were replaced by new entity Western Storm, elevated team Kingborough Tigers and the newly formed Hobart City.

North Launceston were the premiers for the 2014 season, after they defeated the Western Storm by 59 points in the Grand Final.

Despite only forming as a new club in late 2013, the Western Storm were granted an invitation to compete in the Foxtel Cup knockout competition for 2014 ahead of 2013 runners-up Burnie. The Storm scored a stirring victory against reigning Foxtel Cup champions West Adelaide in their debut game in Adelaide.  However, the long trip to Perth mid-week saw them defeated by WAFL club West Perth in the Semi-finals.
