The Far North Coast Amateur Football League (FFNC) is the governing body controlling association football on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia.
The league was founded in 1962 as the Soccer Far North Coast. The name was changed to Football Far North Coast in late 2005 to reflect the name change of the national governing body, from Soccer Australia to Football Federation Australia.
