CANADIAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE (CFL) or League de Football Canadien (LCF) and plays a version of Gridiron Football that is similar to American Football. The CFL plays Canadian Football and began in 1958,having formerly been a member of the Canadian Football Council (CFC),which it withdrew from to form the CFL. It traces its history back to the 1880s. It remains the only Football League in North America that has its teams solely based in Canada.
The CFL was formed from a merger between the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union founded in 1907 and the Western Interprovincial Football Union founded in 1936.
