AFL Canberra

AFL Canberra was a name change for the Australian Capital Territory Australian Football League to recognise the absorbing of the Canberra District Football League in 2006.
==History==
The eight clubs that made up the ACTAFL were retained in the first season of the new competition - Belconnen, Eastlake, Ainslie, Queanbeyan, Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, Wagga and the Sydney reserves. The top division was referred to as Premier Division. Division One consisted of Gungahlin, ANU, Murrumbidgee, Harman, ADFA and Woden along with the Belconnen, Eastlake and Ainslie thirds. Division Two consisted of Cootamundra, RMC, Goulburn, Cooma and Yass as well as the seconds from ANU, Murrumbidgee, Gungahlin, ADFA and Harman and the fourths from Belconnen. The provision od seconds, thirds and fourths would vary over the years since.
In 2007 Wagga left the competition and returned to the Riverina FL while Weston Creek, in an attempt to survive, changed it's name to Canberra and played it's games at Football Park in Woden instead of at Stirling. This would only last a season and the club folded afterwards. In 2008 RMC would be absorbed by ADFA as the competition switched from Premier Division to Division pushed the lower grades down one level.
In 2011 the competition make up completely changed when all six main division clubs joined the new North East AFL. This meant that the new Division One consisted of the reserves from Belconnen, Eastlake, Ainslie and Tuggeranong with Queanbeyan not fielding reserves. They played against the six prevailing Division Two clubs.
In 2013 the South Coast Seahawks joined the competition from the Sapphire Coast AFL where they had been known as Batemans Bay. In 2014 Tuggeranong returned to the competition full time after departing the NEAFL. Murrumbidgee changed their name to Molonglo in the same season.
In 2015 the main division was recreated as First Grade when the remaining clubs aside from Eastlake returned. Eastlake fielded their reserves and to fill the bye Gungahlin were promoted to the main division. The lower grades started a period of inconsistentcy - South Coast reverted to Batemans Bay and Harman went into recess. Canberra Uni fielded a team for the first time in a number of years as the league tried to establish first 18 clubs properly. But it wasn't working. In 2016 Eastlake returned full time while having a hand in establishing Canberra in the NEAFL, and Cootamundra and Goulburn were promoted as part of the ultimately unsuccessful development attempts. This led to several clubs going in to recess for 2017, but they returned in 2018 in a non recognised competition due to the large number of non first 18's. This included a name change for Cooma to Southern Cats. In 2019 for the first time in a number of years a new club emerged - Murrumbatemen. In 2020 Tuggeranong tried to spark a revival merging with the junior clubs to form Tuggeranong Valley. The 2021 season was abandoned in August due to rising cases in the city.
