New South Wales Australian National Football League
Division One -- First Grade -- Season 1971
Season notes
A second division was formed this year from teams that competed in the 1970 Sydney District Association.
Sydney Naval forfeited their Round 18 match to St. George and was subsequently suspended at a meeting of the NSWANFL Board of Management on 2 August 1971.
Their Rounds 15 to 21 matches were awarded to their opponents, including those played in Rounds 15 to 17, for which points scored for and against were declared null and void.
Sydney Naval was wound up on 28 October 1971. South Sydney replaced them in the First Grade competition in 1972.
