The ASFA was established in 1975. Formerly known as the Auckland Business House Sunday Soccer League (ABSSL), it is an incorporated society governed by an executive committee of volunteers elected by the teams within the league at the ASFA annual general meeting. The Executive Committee consists of a Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and a sub-committee.
Since 1976, the ASFA has run a cup competition to compliment the league championships. Teams in the top two divisions currently compete for either the Premier Cup (PC) or the Premier Plate (PP). Teams that lose their round one PC fixture are automatically entered into the PP. Teams in the lower divisions and Masters leagues also compete for a separate Cup and Plates.
Since 1984, the ASFA Season has kicked off with the Charity Shield, a friendly fixture between the Premiership champions and the Premier Cup winners. In 2019, the ASFA introduced the Community Plate, a second season-opening fundraising fixture contested between the winner of League 1 and the winner of the League Cup. The Society Plate was added in 2020, contested between the winners of the top Masters Division and the Masters Cup.
