2011 TSL season

The 2011 AFL Tasmania TSL premiership season was an Australian Rules Football competition staged across Tasmania, Australia over eighteen roster rounds and six finals series matches between 2 April and 24 September 2011.

The League is known as the Wrest Point Tasmanian State League under a commercial naming-rights sponsorship agreement with Wrest Point Casino in Hobart and Federal Group.

On 8 August 2011, AFL Tasmania ruled that official records from the previous TFL Statewide League, TSFL and SWL competitions were now declared null and void in respect to the current TSL and that records would start from 2009 onwards. (1)
