The South West Football League is an Australian rules football league based in the south-west of Western Australia. The league is affiliated to the West Australian Country Football League.
In 1953 the Bunbury-Collie League was founded with seven teams. South Bunbury, Bunbury Railways, Pastimes, Mines Rovers, Collie Railways, Centrals and Donnybrook.
In 1993 a proposed submission from the new Harvey Football Club was rejected because the SWFL thought 10 teams was a sufficient number. Harvey then put in a successful submission into the Peel Football League where they played their first season in 1994.
The start of the 2009 season saw the introduction of the Harvey Bulls, who made the move over from the expanding Peel Football League. This was different from their bid in 1993, as they had nowhere else to go. The SWFL were also looking for a tenth team (after the merger of Collie and Mines) to get rid of the dreaded bye and extended season. Harvey left the PFL because of the rumour of Perth teams entering the PFL for 2009 so therefore increasing travel commitments. This idea fell through but Harvey still joined the SWFL after an 8–1 vote by the SWFL clubs, with HBL the only club opposing the idea.
