The Tasmania Devils (also known as the Tassie Devils) is an Australian rules football club that competes in the NAB League Boys and NAB League Girls competitions. The team is made up of footballers based in Tasmania aged between 17 and 19 years of age, and competes against other representative teams based in metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, as part of the Australian Football League's (AFL) talent pathway systems for male and female players.

History[]

The NAB League/TAC Cup competition has had a Tasmanian presence since 1995, when a team named the Tassie Mariners entered the boys league and competed until the end of the 2002 season.[2] By the late 2000s Tasmania had returned to the boys competition as an "academy team" (which played only some matches against select Victorian teams and was not eligible for the league finals series or premiership), before graduating to full-time status in the 2019 season.[3] The girls team began competing as an "academy team" in 2019 before becoming a full-time team in the 2021 season.[4]

Home Grounds[]

The Devils split home matches between York Park in Launceston and Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
