Australian rules football in New South Wales

Australian rules football in New South Wales dates back to 1866 when a number of short-lived Sydney clubs adopted the sport. By the early 1870s, Australian football had been supplanted by rugby football in Sydney, but saw renewed local interest near the end of the decade due to visiting teams from other colonies. Organised competition has been continuous in New South Wales since the 1880s, from which time several regions have developed into strongholds of Australian football, including Broken Hill on the South Australian border, and the Riverina and the South Coast, which border Victoria. In other, more populous areas of New South Wales, including Sydney, rugby league and rugby union have maintained a higher profile than Australian football.
