Macarthur Rams F.C. is an Australian soccer team based in Campbelltown, New South Wales. The club currently competes in the second division National Premier Leagues NSW 2, and is based in Lynwood Park. The Rams were the NPL NSW Mens 2 Soccer League 2014 champions.
The idea of forming a football association south of the crossroads at Liverpool was first discussed in 1979 and the Macarthur District Soccer Football Association was formed in 1983. In 1984, it became an incorporated body within Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly municipalities.
In the Association's inaugural year, 20 clubs were registered: Bradbury Ambarvale, Burragorang, Camcraft, Camden Tigers, Campbelltown City, Campbelltown Police Boys, Campbelltown Collegians, Campbelltown Districts (now Gunners United), Campbelltown RSL, Eschol Park, Ingleburn RSL, Johnson & Johnson & K Lions (now Leppington Lions), Macarthur Raiders, Macquarie Fields United (now Fields United), Minto, Narellan, Tahmoor Nepean Rovers, Picton Rangers and Ruse. Thirteen clubs moved from the Southern Districts Association, three clubs from the Southern Highlands Association and five new clubs were formed.
Since the Association's inception some clubs have been dissolved and made way for new clubs. The most recent clubs in the Association are Appin, Camden Falcons Soccer Club, Campbelltown Southern Districts, Campbelltown Uniting Church, St Mary's Eaglevale, Douglas Park, Campbelltown Condors, East Campbelltown, Mount Annan and Harrington Park. The 25 clubs make the Association strong, providing football for some 8,000 players and officials.
