History
Ku-ring-gai & District Soccer Association purchased a NSW Soccer Federation Division One license from the Balmain Tigers FC in 2002. The name was then changed to Northern Tigers and the Northern Tigers FC was established.
In 2003 they were premiers of FNSW Men's Division 1 and were promoted to the NSW Super League (the second tier of soccer in New South Wales). In 2007 they were premiers of the Super League but declined promotion to NSW Premier League (the top tier of NSW soccer). In 2010 they were again champions of the Super League after defeating St George FC 4–0 in the grand final.
In 2015, the Northern Tigers were crowned champions of the NPL NSW2 season, however due to the club championship promotion criteria by Football NSW in which are points accumulated across the U-20's and U-18's as well, they were not promoted.
