The 2012 NEAFL season was the second season of the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL).

League structure

The league is split into two divisions called the Northern Conference and the Eastern Conference.

In 2012 two new teams were added to the Eastern Conference from the AFL Sydney competition - Sydney Hills and Sydney University. With the admission of Greater Western Sydney to the AFL, the club's NEAFL side became a reserves team and played under the name of University of Western Sydney.
