The Woolgoolga Blues first became a club in 1982, along with 5 other teams, to make up the North Coast Australian Football League competition. The club’s home ground was Centennial Oval in the heart of Woolgoolga. In that year, the Woolgoolga Blues won the first of their many premierships when they beat Port Macquarie in the inaugural season. The Blues went through the 1983 season unbeaten to be premiers again.
From 1982 to 1994 Woolgoolga was the team to beat. They were early trendsetters that managed to play in the first 13 grand finals for the league and won 7 of them.
In 2006 the Seniors withdrew from the competition, re-joining the comp in 2019 as the Northern Beaches Blues with a Women’s team and a Reserves team.
