Formed as a sporting social club for the young men and women of the district in 1870, Port Adelaide has grown to be one of the nation’s most successful professional sporting organisations. Its connection to ‘the Port’ and the people it represents for more than 150 years remains true to its purpose and identity. 

Our record of success is unparalleled – 4 Champions of Australia titles, 36 SANFL Premierships, 1 AFL Premiership.  Today we compete in three elite competitions, the Australian Football League (AFL), the Australian Football League Women’s (AFLW) the local South Australian National Football League (SANFL) as a foundation club of the local league. 

Port Adelaide is the only genuine community football club from outside of Victoria to earn entry to the national competition, in its own right. 

Port Adelaide lives to the charter to compete and win in the biggest competition in the land, representing its community with pride and passion. We are proud of all that has been achieved since 1870, and as always, bold in our ambition for the future as the Port Adelaide Football Club continues to evolve and thrive.
