Established in 1881, the Latrobe Demons Football Club competes in the North West Football League (NWFL) in Tasmania.
The club competed in the North West Football Union throughout the competition’s entire existence from 1910 until 1986, and has competed in its successor, the North West Football League, since 1987.
Latrobe was one of the most successful NWFU clubs, and its tally of 12 premierships is a joint record shared with Burnie and Ulverstone. It was the only club to win four successive NWFU premierships, achieved from 1969 to 1972.
In 2013, it became the first Tasmanian club outside of the State League to be inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame.
