The Golden Rivers Football Netball League (GRFNL) is an Australian rules football and netball competition based in north-central Victoria and the western Riverina area of New South Wales.

History

The league, formed in 1919, was known as the Kerang and District Football Association until 1944. In 1946, the league was re-established as the Kerang and District Football League.

In 1998, the league changed its name to the Golden Rivers Football League at the direction of the Victorian Country Football League to better reflect its expansion beyond the immediate Kerang area.

Clubs

The league currently has teams from six towns in Victoria and New South Wales.[1] All football clubs field seniors, reserves, under 18 and under 15 teams. All netball clubs field A grade, B grade, B reserve, C grade, 17 and under and 14 and under teams.
