The National Ice Hockey League was a competition held in Australia during the 1980 and 1981 seasons.
There were seven teams in the league during its inaugural 1980 season - the Adelaide Flyers, Dandenong Blackhawks, Footscray Pirates, Newcastle Northstars, Oakleigh Aces, Ringwood Rangers, and the Sydney All-Stars. Sydney won the title with a victory over Dandenong in the best-of-three Grand Final.
The NIHL expanded to nine teams for the 1981 season, admitting the Warringah Bombers and the Canterbury Eagles to the competition. The Oakleigh Aces were renamed the Oakleigh Golds, and the Adelaide Flyers became the Payneham Flyers. The teams were divided in two divisions with the Sydney and Newcastle based teams playing in the Northern Division, and the Melbourne and Adelaide based teams playing in the Southern Division.
