Murray Valley Football Netball League

The origins of this league came in 1909 when Lyrup, Renmark Town and Fairview Rovers founded the Murray Football Association. The Lyrup (then Saints, Now Lions) won the first ever premiership.

The competition reformed in 1919 as the Upper Murray Football Association and in 1923 split into A and B grade competitions. In 1952 the Association became the Upper Murray Football League, the same name as the Upper Murray Football League based around Corryong, Victoria.

The league's A Grade changed its name in 1972 to the Riverland Football League, with the B Grade changing its name to Riverland Independent Football League.

Ramco joined the RIFL in 2009 from the Mid Murray Football Association, as did Blanchetown/Swan Reach in 2010, and the MMFA disbanded.

At the conclusion of the 2022 season the Mallee Football League disbanded and Murrayville applied for admittance to the competition.
