The Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) was an Australian rules football competition for clubs from South East Queensland.
Up until 2010, the QAFL was the premier semi-professional competition in Queensland, with salary cap rules and regulations in place.
It was previously known as the Queensland Football League (QFL), Queensland Australian National Football League (QANFL), Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) and AFL Queensland State League (AFLQSL).
In November 2010 the league's Premier Division merged with AFL Canberra to form the North East Australian Football League, featuring all its previous teams as well as the Gold Coast Football Club reserve team in the Northern Conference of the league. The lower division clubs will continue to play as a local competition.

“Each Australian is a Ulysses.”

“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
