The 1999 TSFL (Tasmanian State Football League) premiership season was an Australian rules football competition, staged across Tasmania, Australia over eighteen roster rounds and four finals series matches between 10 April and 18 September 1999. This was the fourteenth season of statewide football and the League was known as the Chickenfeed Super League under a commercial naming-rights sponsorship agreement with Chickenfeed Bargain Stores in Hobart worth A$350,000.
From this season the competition would be under the control of a new independent governing body of the sport in Tasmania named Football Tasmania as part of recommendations set down by the Australian Football League's Biggs Report investigation into the strong decline in interest and financial disarray of the TFL competition.
In December 1998 Football Tasmania was formed and in February 1999 the Tasmanian Football League was liquidated and the new governing body assumed control of the competition.
From this season North Hobart were rebranded as the Hobart Demons under a marketing arrangement with their major sponsor Harris Scarfe (formerly FitzGerald's) whilst New Norfolk were rebranded as the Derwent Eagles to reflect their entire region (Derwent Valley).
On 31 May, Southern Districts folded after just eighteen months due to ongoing financial difficulties and falling support whilst Derwent Eagles (New Norfolk) were excluded from the competition after this season for both financial and geographical reasons, they were paid a sum of money to leave the TSFL by Football Tasmania and joined the SFL the following season.
