Reserve grade premierships are contested between the existing SANFL clubs, with the exception of Adelaide, who have elected not to field a team in the SANFL Reserves, and Port Adelaide, who shut down its reserves team in 2018. While official SANFL records recognise premierships going back to 1919, the first Association league (that operated underneath the SAFA premiership) commenced in 1906, as can be seen in the list of premiers below.
