Brief history

The Woomera Football League was formed in 1948. The predominance of public service employment in the region was reflected in early participating clubs which included Housing, Koolymilka, Lines & Construction, LWER (Long Range Weapons Experimental Range), RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), RAE (Royal Australian Engineers - Army) and Works.

In 1986 the Woomera Football League changed its name to the Woomera & Districts Football League. Since this era, with the beginning of mining operations at Olympic Dam in the 1980s, the majority of the league's clubs are actually located in the Roxby Downs area rather than Woomera, with the Coober Pedy Saints even further afield.
