History
Competition football began in North-Eastern Tasmania in the early 1900s during the region's tin mining boom.
There were many small associations existing in the area from Scottsdale to Goulds Country, with the many varying changes to the region during the twentieth century it had a resultant effect on the football scene.
After the NEFU formed in 1938, the competition ran until it was suspended during World War Two, football resumed in 1945.
The governing body reformed under the guidance of Harry Horsburg as Secretary and George De Haas as president.
The North Eastern Football Union clubs in that era were Branxholm, Derby, Legerwood, Pioneer, Ringarooma and Winnaleah.
In 1967, Bridport Football Club joined the competition along with Scottsdale Crows (1982), Lilydale (1985), Saint Helens (1993 from the defunct Fingal District FA) and Fingal (1997).[1]
Lilydale left at the end of 2010, Ringarooma went into recess in 2012 and St Helens changed its name to East Coast Swans to have a more regional appeal in 2013. Branxholm went into recess then Bridport and East Coast joined the NTFA.
In 2017 the competition was reduced to just two clubs. In a farcical situation, Winnaleah defeated Scottsdale Crows in all 12 home and away matches and the grand final. The Crows folded soon after. Winnaleah applied to join the NTFA but were rejected, so the club were forced to fold.[2]
