The Northern Region Football (NRF) is an association football organisation, responsible for local growth and development of the game from Northland to South Auckland, New Zealand.

Previously the Northern Football Federation ran football from Northland down to the North Shore and West Auckland, while the Auckland Football Federation covered the rest of the Auckland region.
