The Golden Rivers Football Netball League (GRFNL) is an Australian rules football and netball organisation with clubs in north central Victoria and the western Riverina district of New South Wales.
The League formed in 1919 and was known as the Kerang and District Football Association until 1944. In 1946 the league was reestablished 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.
