History
The EDFL was founded in 1937.
In 2014, the league partitioned into two geographic divisions which operated as separate competitions with separate premiers.[1] In this season, the seven-team western division comprised Nar Nar Goon, Garfield, Cora Lynn, Koo-wee-rup, Bunyip, Catani and Lang Lang; and the eastern division, with eight clubs, comprised Nyora, Poowong, Ellinbank, Nilma-Darnum, Warragul Industrials, Buln Buln, Neerim-Neerim South and Longwarry. This partition lasted only one year, and the league will compete as a single division again from 2015.[2]
In 2017 five clubs were redirected to found the West Gippsland Football Netball League. This left the league with ten clubs. The 2017 senior premiership was won by Catani Football Club over the Warragul Industrials by 1 point.
