In Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and Northern Territory Australian rules football is simply known as Football and colloquially Footy. In the states where rugby league is more common, NSW and Queensland, the sport is sometimes erroneously call 'AFL'. This comes because the national competition is called the AFL - Australian Football League. This shouldn't happen because AFL is the name of the competition, not the sport. It would be the same as saying Tiger Woods plays USA PGA Tour, whereas he plays Golf.
The 'AFL' (Australian Football League) name has been around since 1990. The 'VFL' (Victorian Football League) change its name after expansion outside Victoria. The first season of the VFL was 1897 after team left the VFA to form a new league. Australian Rules Football (the SPORT played in the AFL) was first played in 1859.
