In 1919 the Southern Yorke Peninsula Football Association and the Central Yorke Peninsula Football Association merged to form the Central And Southern Yorke Peninsula Association. This League went into recess during World War II and in 1945 the Southern Yorke Peninsula Football Association was reformed. The Southern Yorke Peninsula Football Association was renamed as the Southern Yorke Peninsula Football League in 1957.
At the end of the 1993 season, after years of diminishing player numbers, the six remaining clubs were amalgamated into two new clubs – Curramulka, Minlaton and Stansbury as the CMS Crows, and Yorketown, Edithburgh and Western United as the Southern Eagles – and the two resulting clubs joined the YVFL for the 1994 season.

At that time the participating clubs were:
In 1996, the YVFL changed its name to the current title.
