I was reading the NIFL thread and the APFL was mentioned. I got to thinking about it and the APFL is the longest running active league.

Even the AFL is legally a new entity as of 2009.

That would be the CIFL, its been around since 2006 I think. First as the GLIFL. Then the CIFL. But it was the same entity.

I think the APFL's been around since 2003 (or maybe even 2002)...so the APFL is still the older league.

The funny/sad thing about the APFL is it was started because the Kansas Koyotes couldn't get admitted to the NIFL.

Very true.

The APFL's first season was 2003 btw, so they are indeed the longest running league right now for whatever that's worth (won't even get you a cup of coffee).
