New South Wales Australian National Football League
Season 1951
Season notes
Liverpool joined the league this season.
Illawarra left the league after the 1950 season.
Round 8 was originally scheduled for the King's Birthday weekend (9-11 June), but was brought forward.
There was no play on the weekends of 23-24 June and 30 June -1July, which resulted in Rounds 10 to 18 being postponed two weeks.
Sydney University competed in the University Football Carnival in Tasmania during the last two weeks of August.
Sydney University brought their Round 18 match against Liverpool forward to 11 June, but had to forfeit their Round 16 and 17 games after these were re-scheduled following the two lost weeks in June.
