[edit] History
The first Queensland Football League (QFL) was formed in July 1903. In August 1927 the QFL was renamed the Queensland Australian National Football League (QANFL). In 1964 the QANFL became the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL), a limited liability company. After the 1996 season, the QAFL went into receivership. A new governing body, the Queensland Australian Football Council, was formed in 1997, alongside a new premiership competition, Queensland State Football League (QSFL). In 1999, the QSFL also went into voluntary liquidation being replaced. Another new organisation, AFL Queensland (AFLQ), was formed in 2000. The new premiership competition was called the AFLQ State League.
