The Upper Murray Football Netball League (UMFNL) is an Australian Rules Football and Netball competition based in small town of Corryong, Victoria, Australia. The league contains six clubs from around the farming districts of the Upper Murray, including the three founding clubs from 1893.

Today the league features five grades in the Australian Rules Football competition, with these being Senior-Grade, Reserve-Grade, Under 16's, Under 13's and Under 10's. In the Netball competition, there are six grades, with these being A-Grade, B-Grade, C-Grade, D-Grade, Under 15's and Under 11's. Both the Under 10's football and Under 11's netball are run as Auskick and respectively and results are normally not recorded and final series are normally not played.

There are many pieces of league memorabilia scatted throughout the Upper Murray region, including some photos & trophies away from clubroom and sporting grounds. Some notable locations include The Man from Snowy River Museum (Corryong), Corryong Sporting Complex, Corryong Courthouse Hotel, Corryong Hotel Motel, Cudgewa Hotel, Tintaldra Hotel, Walwa Hotel, Bridge Hotel (Jingellic), & Riley's Restaurant (Corryong).

During the 1892/1983 summer three of the regions cricket clubs agreed to the establishment of a competition in order to keep their players fit during the winter break. The three founding clubs were Corryong, Cudgewa, and Mount Elliot, and in early 1893 the Corryong Football Association was officially established.

The league is one of the oldest Football Leagues in Victoria. It was established 16 years after the first Victorian Football Association (VFA/VFL) season, the same year as the first Ovens & Murray Football Association season, 4 years before the first Victorian Football League (VFL/AFL) season, and 10 years before the first Ovens & King Football Association season. Additional the league was established almost 1 year before the Corryong Courier newspaper was first published on January 25, 1894.
