The 1999 TSFL season was the 115th season of the Tasmanian State Football League (TSFL), the highest-level senior Australian rules football competition in Tasmania. This was the first and only season under the TSFL name (also known as the Chickenfeed Super League because of a sponsorship agreement with Chickenfeed), replacing the TFL Statewide League name that had been used since 1986. The season began on 10 April and concluded on 18 September, comprising an 18-match home-and-away season, followed by a four-week finals series.
From this season the competition would be under the control of a new independent governing body of the sport in Tasmania named Football Tasmania as part of recommendations set down by the Australian Football League's Biggs Report investigation into the strong decline in interest and financial disarray of the TFL competition.
In December 1998 Football Tasmania was formed and in February 1999 the Tasmanian Football League was liquidated and the new governing body assumed control of the competition.
From this season North Hobart were rebranded as the Hobart Demons under a marketing arrangement with their major sponsor Harris Scarfe (formerly FitzGerald's) whilst New Norfolk were rebranded as the Derwent Eagles to reflect their entire region (Derwent Valley).
On 31 May, Southern Districts folded after just eighteen months due to ongoing financial difficulties and falling support whilst Derwent Eagles (New Norfolk) were excluded from the competition after this season for both financial and geographical reasons, they were paid a sum of money to leave the TSFL by Football Tasmania and joined the SFL the following season.
^Southern Districts were wound up at a Football Tasmania meeting on 31 May and their record (2W 6L 0D 820 For 890 Against 92.13% Points 8) was expunged; each team that had already played them and those teams who had been drawn to play them for the rest of the season were awarded four premiership points.
