The Central Murray Football Netball League (CMFNL) is a major country Australian rules football and netball competition based in northern Victoria and southwest New South Wales in Australia.

History edit

The league was formed in 1997, combining all eight teams from the existing Mid Murray Football League, and three sides from the Northern and Echuca Football League. Leitchville-Gunbower joined the league in 2002, while Tooleybuc merged with former Mallee Football League club Manangatang in 2004.

Leitchville-Gunbower moved to the Heathcote District Football League in 2010.
