As a National competition, 1990 was the official date for the commencement of AFL (Australian Football league), with clubs travelling interstate.
However, Australian football formally began on a club-by-club basis in 1897, with the formation of the state-wide league, the Victorian Football League (VFL).
The game itself had already, though, been around - even before the 1850's: nevertheless, the first formalized written rules were drawn up in 1859.
1958
