*The Latrobe, Penguin and Ulverstone clubs broke away from the NWFA at the end of the 1908 season to form the rival NWFL.

The TFL continued to recognise the NWFA as the governing football body in north-west Tasmania. However, the NTFA recognised the new NWFL instead. Tensions continued throughout the 1909 season before the two sides resolved their differences and formed the North-West Football Union for 1910.

**H. Gibbens from the Forth FC (NWFA) was the only north-west player selected (this was despite the NWFA not taking part in the selection match against the NTFA on July 10).
