The American Football Association (AFA) was the first attempt in the United States to form an organizing soccer body. It was the second oldest sports league to form, behind the National League of baseball in 1876, as well as being the oldest soccer league in the United States. The Association was formed in 1884 in an attempt to standardize rules and procedures. It was allied with The Football Association, becoming a member on February 22, 1909, at an FA meeting chaired by Charles Clegg, and drew on that organization's approach to the game. As part of its efforts, the AFA directly organized both league and cup competitions as well as overseeing the operations of member leagues. In 1884, it established the American Cup, which for several decades was the highest competitive soccer competition

has abstract	L'American Football Association (AFA), en català Associació Americana de Futbol, va ser el primer intent als Estats Units de formar un organisme regulador del futbol. És més coneguda per ser la segona lliga esportiva més antiga a formar-se, darrere de la Lliga Nacional de Beisbol el 1876, a més de ser la lliga de futbol més antiga dels Estats Units. L'Associació es va formar el 1884 en un intent de normalitzar les regles i procediments. Es va aliar amb The Football Association, esdevenint-ne membre el 22 de febrer de 1909, en una reunió de la FA presidida per Charles Clegg, i es va basar en l'enfocament que tenia aquesta organització del joc. Com a part dels seus esforços, l'AFA va organitzar directament competicions tant de lliga com de copa, a més de supervisar les operacions de les lligues membres. El 1884 va establir la (American Cup), que durant dècades va ser la competència de futbol més important dels Estats Units. La debilitat de l'AFA radicava en la seva negativa a expandir-se fora de la regió sud de Nova Anglaterra. Quan un moviment va començar a crear un òrgan de govern nacional el 1911, l'AFA es va trobar se sobte davant de la recent creada American Amateur Football Association (AAFA), un organisme que es va convertir ràpidament en nacional. L'AFA va argumentar que havia de ser reconeguda per la FIFA. No obstant això, diverses organitzacions membres van abandonar l'AFA i van passar a l'AAFA el 1912. L'AAFA es va reformar ràpidament per convertir-se en , rebent el reconeixement de la FIFA el 1913. L'AFA continuà dirigint la Copa Americana fins al 1925, però en aquell moment ja havia estat superada en importància per la National Challenge Cup i la National Amateur Cup.

In 1884, it established the American Cup, which for several decades was the highest competitive soccer competition in the United States. The weakness of the AFA lay in its refusal to expand outside the southern New England region. When a movement began to create a national governing body in 1911, the AFA found itself confronting the newly established American Amateur Football Association (AAFA), a body which quickly became national. The AFA argued that it should be recognized by FIFA. However, several member organizations defected from the AFA to the AAFA in 1912. The AAFA quickly moved to reform itself as the United States Football Association, receiving FIFA recognition in 1913. The AFA continued to run the American Cup until 1925, but by that time it had been superseded by the National Challenge Cup and National Amateur Cup.
