Shamrock Rovers Darwin FC are a football (soccer) club based in Darwin, Northern Territory. They compete in the NorZone Premier League administered by Football Federation Northern Territory.[1] Rovers play their games at Darwin Football Stadium in the suburb of Marrara.

History

The club was established in 2014 and their inaugural season was in 2015 in the Northern Territory's All Age competition.[2] In 2016 they were accepted to compete in the NorZone Premier League, the highest level of competition in the Territory. They are considered to be a 'sister club' of the Dublin club, Shamrock Rovers and Shamrock Rovers Perth FC.

In 2016, Rovers won the Northern Territory Sports Minister's Cup, qualifying them for the national stages of the 2016 FFA Cup.[3] Rovers drew National Premier Leagues Queensland side Brisbane Strikers FC at home. Strikers proved far too strong for Shamrock, winning the clash 6–0 in front of over 1,300 people at Darwin Football Stadium.[4]
