The Australian Football League North East Border Female Football League (AFL NEB FFL) is a Women's Australian rules football competition based in the greater North East Victoria region of Victoria, Australia.

History

The league was established in 2015 as a pathway for young girls who wanted to continue playing football after Auskick but were unable to compete in traditional male leagues across the region. Since its inception the league has grown to seven clubs and two competitions, one for women aged 13 to 16, and a second open-age competition for women aged 17 years and over.
