VFL-TFL CHALLENGE CUP
However, by the end of the 1999 season the Tasmanian league was in crisis with a number of clubs leaving the competition or folding due to mounting debts and political in-fighting. A new body named Football Tasmania was struggling to keep statewide football alive and this, combined with the VFL's own restructure which resulted in the AFL's former reserves teams moving to the VFL, spelt the end of the annual challenge match.
