The Yarra Valley Football Association was an Australian rules football competition formed in 1909 [1] and ended in 1965.
The Yarra Valley Football Association was formed in 1909 [2] and ran until 1965 as a one division football competition.
Australian Rules Football competitions in the Yarra Valley commenced as far back as 1891, with the Clement Brothers Trophy, which was won by Yarra Glen, [3] with a number of different competitions and associations being formed in the area between 1891 and 1913.
There was a number of minor name changes in the competition's name between 1909 and 1914, mainly due to which local business or donor sponsored the premiership trophy in any given football season.
In 1926, Powelltown, Warburton and Yarra Junction clubs joined the YVFA from the Upper Yarra Football Association. [4]
In 1933, Yarra Junction went through the season undefeated, up until the grand final, but lost the match to Warburton by 11 points.
Three playing members within the Yarra Valley Football Association lost their lives in the 1939 bush fire holocaust on the 13th January 1939. [5]
The Yarra Valley Football Association changed its name to the Yarra Valley Football League at its annual general meeting in March, 1947 and ran until 1965.
The Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League was formed in 1966, from the amalgamation of the Mountain District Football League (1922 - 1965) [6] and the Yarra Valley Football League (1909–1965). [7]
The following YVFL clubs joined the YVMDFL in 1966 - Healesville, Marysville, Millgrove, Powelltown, Warburton, Woori Yallock and Yarra Junction.
In 2016, following a review by AFL Victoria, the league decided to change its name to the AFL Yarra Ranges. After another review of local football at the conclusion of the 2018 season, AFL Victoria decided that the league should merge with the South East Football Netball League to form the Outer East Football Netball League.
