The Handball League Australia (HLA) was an Australian-based championship for handball run by Australian Handball Federation. The principal idea was to play round robin games in each capital city. There are four teams representing four states.[1]
In the first season four rounds were planned but the third round was cancelled. The season starts in June and ends in December. Each team plays two matches against every other team.
