The Golden Rivers Football League is an Australian rules football organisation with clubs in north central Victoria and the western Riverina district of New South Wales.

The League formed in 1919 and was known as the Kerang and District Football Association until 1944. In 1946 the league was reestablished as the Kerang and District Football League. In 1998 the League changed its name to the Golden Rivers Football League at the direction of the Victorian Country Football League, to better reflect its expansion beyond the immediate Kerang area.

Clubs

The League currently has teams from nine towns in Victoria and New South Wales. All football clubs field seniors, reserves, under 17's and under 14's teams. All netball clubs field an A grade, B grade, B reserve, 17 and under and 14 and under grades.
