In 1994, the AFL attempted to amalgamate the NSW and ACT competitions, a move which was strongly resisted by the A.C.T. Australian Football League (ACT AFL) and the ACT government. [2] In 1995, the AFL Commission reached an agreement with the New South Wales Australian Football League Ltd (NSW AFL) to establish the NSW-ACT Australian Football Development Foundation. [3] The AFL later[ when? ] assumed governance over New South Wales[ further explanation needed ], leading to the demise of the independent NSW AFL. [1] In 1998, the AFL (NSW/ACT) Commission took over operations of the ACT AFL forming AFL NSW/ACT in 1999.[ citation needed ]
