## History

[edit]

The original Gippsland Football League was formed when the Northern Gippsland Football Association (NGFA) officially changed their name to “The Gippsland Football League” in 1921,[1] which then operated under this title until 1953.

A new Gippsland football competition was formed in 1954, as the La Trobe Valley Football League, [2] [3] when seven club's from the Central Gippsland Football League joined the Latrobe Valley Football League, with the three remaining Central Gippsland Football League club's joining the South Gippsland Football League. [4]
