AFL North West NSW is an Australian rules football competition in the Tamworth and New England region of New South Wales, Australia. The league began as a "pub competition" in Tamworth in 1997, with four 12-a-side teams, but has since slightly grown to a local league. There are four open teams in both men's and women's competitions based in three towns. AFL North West also runs junior competitions across several age groups.

Previously known as the Tamworth Australian Football League, the name was changed for the 2017 season.

Prior to the establishment of the Tamworth AFL, there had been two other leagues in the area, the New England AFL, which folded after the 1984 season - and the North West AFL, which folded after the 1993 season.
