Clubs included Buckland, Nugent, Orford, Runnymede, Swansea, Spring Bay, Cranbrook, Triabunna, Sorell, Buckland-Orford, Woodsdale, Nugent, Copping and Forcett.
The ECFA went into recess five rounds into the 1958 season and ultimately folded at the completion of that season.
Clubs included Dover, Raminea, Southport and Glendevie.
After struggling for many years with attracting players, the Esperance FA embarked on a plan of combining all four clubs to form the 'Esperance Football Club', playing out of Dover and put in an official submission to join the Huon Football Association for the 1968 season. In September 1967 the Huon FA formally rejected the application, and as a result, in early 1968 all clubs and the Association went into recess and never restarted.
Note: The 1951 Grand Final was drawn necessitating a replay a week later.

Fingal protested and the Fingal FA determined that the game had to be replayed and it took place two weeks later. In 1936 Avoca were awarded the premiership over Rovers after Rovers refused to play in the grand final replay after the original game was drawn. Avoca Football Club went out of business in the off-season of 1989-90 owing to a lack of player numbers. The 1989 Grand Final, which they won, was their final match.

Northern Tasmanian Football Association (1886−1986)
The Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) was an Australian rules football competition which ran from 1886 to 1986. In its time it was one of the three main leagues in Tasmania and was based in the Launceston and surrounding districts.
Two teams (North Launceston and East Launceston) were to field reserve grade teams at senior level in the competition in 1986 upon joining the TFL Statewide League with a third club – City-South – merging with East Launceston on 26 May 1986. In 1987 the NTFA merged with the North West Football Union (NWFU) to form the Northern Tasmanian Football League, losing both North Launceston and the merged East Launceston/City-South (South Launceston) club.
The North West Football Union (NWFU) was an Australian rules football competition which ran from 1910 to 1986. In its time it was one of the three main leagues in Tasmania, with the Tasmanian Football League and Northern Tasmanian Football Association representing the rest of the state.
The NWFU ran until the end of the 1986 season when major clubs such as Cooee and Devonport defected to the TFL Statewide League. In 1987 the NWFU merged with the Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA) to form the Northern Tasmanian Football League.

Western Tasmanian Football Association (1964−1993)
Main Article: Western Tasmanian Football Association The Western Tasmanian Football Association was a competition based on Tasmania's West Coast, and was mostly made up of miners that lived and worked in the area. The Western Tasmanian FA was a continuation of the former Queenstown FA that operated between 1924 and 1963. With the closure of the Mt Lyell Mine in 1994, the loss of miners in the region meant the demise of the competition. Queenstown (an amalgamation of City and Smelters in 1977) and Lyell-Gormanston (an amalgamation of the Lyell Maroons and Gormanston in 1976) amalgamated in 1994 to become Queenstown Crows and joined the Darwin FA. Zeehan Bulldogs joined another North Western competition but collapsed a few years later whilst Rosebery and Toorak (who had amalgamated in 1987) had already jumped ship prior to the competition's demise and had joined the North West FA.
