The Tasmanian Statewide League was the highest state-level competition in Tasmania prior to being disbanded in 2000.

The state championship format reverted to two regional leagues determining a Southern and Northern champion, who then, at the end of the regular season, play-off for the state championship.

In 2009 the series changed to an eight team knock out series played over three weeks involving the top four teams from each of the Northern and Southern Premier League.

A new eight-team statewide league, known as the NPL Tasmania, commenced in 2013.

The NPL Tasmania Champion enters a national play-off series at the conclusion of the regular season against the champions of other NPL conferences.
