The following is a list of NJSIAA conferences that have disbanded.
2009-10 NJISAA Realignment
The NJSIAA undertook a major realignment of conferences in the northern part of the state in 2009 and 2010. The main impetus for realigning the league's listed below into six superconferences with multiple divisions each was to defuse tension between public and private schools in the area, which had risen to the point that the public schools attempted to force the private schools into their own separate conferences.[1]
