The Auckland Australian Football League which began in 1974, is an amateur Australian rules football competition in Auckland, New Zealand currently consisting of 6 clubs and is one of the leagues governed by AFL New Zealand. The league has a men's competition and affiliated women's competition known as Auckland Women's AFL featuring some of the same clubs. The competition runs from September to December to avoid clashes with the rugby football season.

An earlier league which existed in Auckland from 1904 until the outbreak of World War I was also known, for a time, as the Auckland Australian Football League.

The Auckland Australian Football Association (AAFA) was founded by former Australian professional player Terry Gay in 1974, North Shore Tigers were one of the foundation clubs. Four teams were playing in 1988 and it shifted its season to spring. It was renamed Auckland Australian Football League (AAFL) in 1990.

In 2012 the AAFL established a 2nd Division for less competitive clubs however this lasted only one year before all clubs were to play in first division.

The league went through a period of strong growth in the 2010s with players like Michael Boyce, Shane Leat, Te Kopa Tipene-Thomas, Andriu Sucu and Jackson Clince among the players selected to represent New Zealand on the international stage helping to attract more media exposure for the sport in the city.

Season 2021 was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

The competition resumed in 2022 where the North Shore Tigers became the first team to go undefeated for an entire season, going 12-0 including finals.[1]. This record has been added to in subsequent years with the Tigers going on to remain undefeated through the 2023 and 2024 seasons currently sitting at 44 games undefeated.
