AFL Broken Hill (formerly the Broken Hill Football League) is based in the Broken Hill region of New South Wales.
The competition has been running since 1890 and is the oldest Australian Football League in the state.
It might seem curious that Australian rules football should develop as the dominant football code in a mining city in the far west of New South Wales, a state more known for the dominance of rugby league.
Broken Hill was established as a mining town and many of the early settlers were from either the Victorian goldfields, or the copper mines of Moonta and Kadina in South Australia, both of which were areas being keen participants in the early development of Australian rules football.
