We are Port Adelaide.
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 community football club from outside of Victoria to earn entry in its own right to the
national competition. 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, immensely proud of all that has been achieved since 1870, and as always, bold in every plan
for the future.
We exist to win Premierships.
