Northern Tigers FC is a semi-professional soccer club based in the Hornsby area of Sydney. The Northern Tigers enter teams in the Football NSW National Premier Leagues NSW Men's 2 (Men and Boys), National Premier Leagues NSW Women's 2 (Women and Girls), FNSW Skills Acquisition Program (Under 9, 10 and 11) and the NSW Futsal Super League.
Home games are played at Mills Park, Asquith with occasional games at Parklands Oval, Mt. Colah and the Lindfield Campus of the University of Technology, Sydney. They are one of 19 "feeder" clubs that maintain a working relationship with A-League club, Sydney FC.
Ku-ring-gai & District Soccer Association purchased a NSW Soccer Federation Division 1 license from the Balmain Tigers in 2002. The name was then changed to Northern Tigers and Northern Tigers FC was established.
In 2003 they were premiers of FNSW Men's Division 1 and were promoted to the FNSW Super League (now National Premier Leagues NSW Men's 2). In 2007 they were Premiers of Super League but declined promotion to FNSW Premier League (now National Premier Leagues NSW Men's 1). In 2010 they were Champions of FNSW Super League after defeating St. George FC 4–0 in the Grand Final.
The 2015 NPL NSW2 season, saw their senior side crowned champions however due to the club championship promotion criteria by Football NSW (which are points accumulated across the U20' and U18's as well), they were not promoted.
The Northern Tigers have an intake area for players that includes most of the northern corridor of Sydney that stretches from the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the Hawkesbury River.
Players come from suburbs including Berowra, Gordon, Pymble, Lindfield, Killara, Lane Cove, Chatswood, Wahroonga, Artamon, Hornsby, Willoughby, Turramurra and Northern Beaches.
