The Murray Football League is a semi-professional Australian rules football league affiliated with the Victorian Country Football League.
The league covers a large area of northern Victoria and southern New South Wales from Shepparton in the south to Deniliquin in the north.
It covers much the same area as the Picola & District Football League but tends to attract teams from the larger communities and towns. There has been movement between the two leagues. Barooga moved from the Picola & District Football League while Berrigan and Strathmerton moved to that league.
The Grand Final is traditionally hosted by Tocumwal.
[edit] History
The Murray Football League (MFL) was established in 1931 with clubs from the communities of Barooga, Cobram, Muckatah, Numurkah, Strathmerton and Tocumwal.
Between 1941 and 1945 the league went into recess for World War II.
Following the disbanding of the Echuca Football League, Echuca United and Moama joined the league.
In 2006, Tongala and Rumbalara made their debut with the league. Tongala was previously in the Goulburn Valley Football League and Rumbalara was in the now defunct Central Goulburn Football League.
The 2006 premiership was won by Nathalia to complete back to back premiership wins.
