On Monday, 13 June 1960 (Queen's Birthday holiday), the Tasmanian state team hosted a Victorian state team in an interstate Australian rules football match at York Park, Launceston.

[3] Tasmania played the better football early, and opened a 17 point lead at quarter time.

Victoria fought back gradually throughout the day, and hit the front for the first time ten minutes into the final quarter.

[3] The Tasmanian team, as usual, was selected among players from the three major senior leagues.

The 1960 team demonstrated the rise of the North West Football Union as a senior football body, as it was the first time that more union players had been selected than league or association players.
