The Riverland Football League is an Australian rules football league located in South Australia's Riverland region. The league has two divisions – the first division is for the main towns of the Riverland and the second division, called the Riverland Independent Football League, is for the minor towns. Their website is found at www.riverlandfootballleague.com.

History

The origins of this league was in 1909 when Lyrup, Renmark Town and Fairview Rovers founded the Murray Football Association.

The competition reformed in 1919 as the Upper Murray Football Association and later in 1952 became the Upper Murray Football League, the same name as the Upper Murray Football League based around Corryong, Victoria.

The league changed its name in 1972 to the Riverland Football League, with the league's second division changing from the Upper Murray B Grade Football League to the Riverland Independent Football League.

For the 2023 season the Riverland Independent Football League formally separated from Riverland Football League control, to form a new league called the Murray Valley Football and Netball League.

Season 1956

Heavy rains further up river in NSW and Victoria caused the Murray River to flood and it caused the abandonment of the 1956 football season.

Season 2020

Due to COVID-19, The RFL made the decision that "A" and "B" grade competitions would not go ahead. However, junior competitions still ran for the 2020 football season (U13's, U15's and U18's)
