Prior to 1990 the AFL (Australian Football League) was called the VFL (Victorian Football League). The league expanded to Sydney in 1982 when the South Melbourne Swans relocated to Sydney to become the Sydney Swans.
In 1987 a West Australian team West Coast Eagles and a Queensland team Brisbane Bears were introduced. The name changed in for the 1990 season to reflect the fact that there were teams outside Victoria and there were plans for more teams outside Victoria in the future.
The two leagues merged into one National Football League in 1970.
In 1955 the AFL and CIO settled their differences and merged into one extremely large labor organization. All the major national unions in the United States today except the National Education Association are affiliated with the AFL-CIO.

Well im not sure how, but NFL stands for National Football League. There used to be the AFL (American Football League) but the NFL and AFL merged.
