During the 1927 ANFC Carnival conducted in Melbourne, the ANFC held a National Conference for all States, to consider several constitutional changes on rules and regulations. Representing Tasmania at the Conference was Mr. William Leitch. Among other matters, and at the behest of the ANFC, the States were required to include into their respective names, the words ‘Australian National’.

From that point onwards the TFL became Tasmanian Australian National Football League (TANFL). 

The Australian School Boys carnival was conducted in Hobart. Tasmania beat every State with the exception of South Australia.

Cananore repeated its previous season good form by defeating Lefroy in the TANFL grand final (third premiership in a row) and went on to beat North Launceston in the TFL State final 12.20 (92) to 10.15 (75).

Sixth National Carnival, held in Melbourne and won by Victoria.

Tasmania did not win a game.

Ken Roberts of the New Town club, won the TANFL Best & Fairest award.
