Formed in 1997, Gridiron Victoria was an amalgamation of the two existing governing bodies of the time, the Victoria Gridiron Football League and the Gridiron Association of Victoria.
In 2025, the name was changed to American Football Victoria to incorporate both tackle and flag football into one governing body. This brought American Football Victoria in line with American Football Australia (Formerly Gridiron Australia), as well as the other state leagues in the country.
