Murray Valley Football Netball League

The Murray Valley Football Netball League (MVFNL) is an Australian rules football League located in South Australia's Riverland region. The league features clubs from the smaller towns of the Riverland and Upper Murray region.

The league was born out of the ashes of the Riverland Independent Football League, which, after disassociating from the Riverland Football League following the conclusion of the 2022 season, combined with the Riverland Independent Netball Association to create a new administration and competition.

History
The origins of this league came in 1909 when Lyrup, Renmark Town and Fairview Rovers founded the Murray Football Association. Lyrup won the first ever premiership.

The competition reformed in 1919 as the Upper Murray Football Association and in 1923 split into A and B grade competitions. In 1952, the Association became the Upper Murray Football League (UMFL), not to be confused with the league of the same name located around Corryong, Victoria.

In 1971, the league's B Grade division split out into its own competition as the Riverland Independent B-Grade Football Association. It was renamed the Riverland Independent Football League (RIFL) the following season, while the UMFL underwent its own renaming to the Riverland Football League.

Ramco joined the RIFL in 2009 from the Mid Murray Football Association (MMFA), as did Blanchetown/Swan Reach in 2010, and the MMFA disbanded.

At the conclusion of the 2022 season, the Mallee Football League disbanded and Murrayville applied for admittance to the new MVFNL competition.
