The Nightcliff Football Club has competed in the NTFL since it entered as the Works & Housing team in 1950. The club was renamed Nightcliff Football Club in 1963/64.
In the early 1970s the football club established the Nightcliff Sports Club which is now an icon of the suburb and the football club is the proud senior affiliate of the Sports Club.
The Club has its own home ground at the Nightcliff Oval, situated adjacent to the Nightcliff Sports Club. Games are also played at Darwin’s TIO Marrara Stadium and various other club home grounds.
The NTFL season runs between October and March every year.

Location
Nightcliff is a northern suburb of Darwin. The name possibly comes from a night-time landing at the site by a party from HMS Beagle on 8 September 1839. A party in a longboat came ashore, including Lieutenant John Stokes, who later wrote “We had some difficulty in landing, and then in scrambling up the cliffs by the light of a lantern”.
