Western Australia joined after the war when its definition of amateur football was brought into line with the other states. The highlight for amateur league states was the football carnivals held every three years. The final carnival was held in 1994 and the AAFC disbanded in 1996. The AAFC was reformed in 2001. From 1996, interstate games against Western Australia stopped while South Australia and Victoria continued. In 2002, a triennial series was introduced over a three year period. Western Australia rejoined the competition with an Under 23 team. In 2005, for the first time an international series was held in Ireland playing international rules.
