It was originally named the Victorian Football League (VFL) and was founded in 1896 as a breakaway competition from the Victorian Football Association (VFA), with its inaugural season in 1897. It changed its name to the Australian Football League in 1990 after expanding its competition to other Australian states in the 1980s. The AFL publishes its laws of Australian football, which are used, with variations, by other Australian rules football organisations.
