The formation of the competition was originally thought to be in 1908. However the first games were played in 1903 between North and Currie football clubs. The King Island Football Association (KIFA) was formed in 1914 with the introduction of the third team the Pegarah rovers.The competition peaked at 4 teams in the 1950s with the introduction of the Grassy and Mount Stanley football clubs.In the interim Pegarah Rovers had folded, Pegarah and loorana fielded teams but disbanded by 1938. [1]
One of Australia's most isolated, and almost certainly its smallest football league, the three teams play ten games each in a fifteen round competition plus finals. [2]
The King Island Football Association played under the Victorian Football Association's rival throw-pass rules from 1946 until 1948, meaning that throwing the football in general play was legal during those years. [3]
