Darwin Football Association

The clubs belonging to the association are from localities close to Burnie and on the West Coast of Tasmania.

A previous version existed from 1938 to 1944 but appears unrelated despite two of the DFA's foundation clubs being in the competition.

[5] In 1955 the number of clubs dropped back to six with Montello and Somerset departing,[6] and then following season APPM changed their name to South Burnie.

In 1982 the competition expanded to ten clubs with the inclusion of Sprent and West Ulverstone from the Leven Football Association.

[12] In 1994, Queenstown "Crows"—a merger of the Queenstown-based clubs from the Western Tasmanian Football Association—joined the competition.
