The Goulburn Valley Football League (GVFL) is an Australian rules football competition based in the Goulburn Valley region of Victoria, Australia. Participating clubs also field netball teams that compete in a concurrent league.
It is a member of the Victorian Country Football League and has won the Victorian Country Football Championships in 2003 and 2005.
The Goulburn Valley Football League origins date back to 1893. Clubs from townships of Kyabram, Mooroopna, Shepparton and Tatura would organize to meet and play games. Later clubs from Undera, Rushworth, Murchison, Tongala and Echuca would spend time in this league. Prior to World War II this league used to play on Wednesday afternoon, but in 1939 the league decided to change to Saturday afternoon, Shepparton and Mooroopna objected and refused to play on Saturdays so both clubs went into recess.
In 1995 the league absorbed the clubs from the Tungamah FL and had a second division for three years (1995–1997). These Second division clubs left and form the Central Goulburn Football League in 1998. This league ceased in 2005.
