Northern Tigers FC is a semi-professional association football club based in the northern suburbs area of Sydney, spanning the Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore and reaching up to Brooklyn on the banks of the Hawkesbury River. The Northern Tigers enter teams in the Football NSW League One (formerly National Premier Leagues NSW Men's 2) (Men and Boys), National Premier Leagues NSW Women's (Women and Girls), FNSW Skills Acquisition Program (Mixed Under 9 - Under 12 and Girls Under 10 - Under 13).

Home games are played at North Turramurra Recreation Area, with Charles Bean Sports Field, at the former Ku-ring-gai Campus of the University of Technology, Sydney acting as an additional facility.

History

Ku-ring-gai & District Soccer Association purchased a NSW Soccer Federation Division One license from the Balmain Tigers FC in 2002. The name was then changed to Northern Tigers and the Northern Tigers FC was established.

In 2003 they were premiers of FNSW Men's Division 1 and were promoted to the NSW Super League (the second tier of soccer in New South Wales). In 2007 they were premiers of the Super League but declined promotion to NSW Premier League (the top tier of NSW soccer). In 2010 they were again champions of the Super League after defeating St George FC 4–0 in the grand final.

In 2015, the Northern Tigers were crowned champions of the NPL NSW2 season, however due to the club championship promotion criteria by Football NSW in which are points accumulated across the U-20's and U-18's as well, they were not promoted.

In 2024, the women's team won the Sapphire Cup with a 2-1 victory over Sydney University SFC at Valentine Sports Park.

Club colours

Northern Tigers FC players wear white with bottle green when playing at home and purple with white when playing away.

Notes

Northern Suburbs Football Association

The Northern Suburbs Football Association was formed in April 1957 as Ku-Ring-Gai & District Soccer Association (KDSA). There were five foundation clubs – Kissing Point, Wahroonga, West Pymble, North Turramurra and Lindfield. The first representative teams entered in NSW Federation competitions in 1959 or 1960, with the first senior representative side competing in 1963 as Ku-Ring-Gai United. In 1970 Ku-ring-gai merged with Artarmon to enter the NSW Federation competition and changed its name in 1972 to Ku-ring-gai Soccer Club. NSW Soccer Federation also approved the merger of the KDSA with the Northern Suburbs Soccer Association for the 1973 season. The district would continue to operate as KDSA. In 2012, the association changed its name to Northern Suburbs Football Association to more accurately reflect district boundaries and remain in line of the national use of "football" within federations.
