History

South Hobart is the oldest association football club in Tasmania, as well as one of the most successful. They have won the State Championship a record 17 times. Add to this a remarkable 21 Southern titles, 11 KO Cups, 3 Statewide KO Cups and 6 Falkinder Cups plus various other trophies, and they stand out as Tasmania's most successful club. They played their first match on 21 May 1910. South Hobart won the league for the first time in 1919, and won the next four in a row. Although successful through their existence, they have only recently begun to again win trophies at the highest level. The 60's saw the influx of ethnic based clubs, and South Hobart has taken until the 21st Century to return to their former glory.

They would also retain all these titles in 2011.

With the creation of the National Premier Leagues as the official second tier of Australian football for 2013, South Hobart finished in first place in Tasmanian division and won the regional championship playoffs. Progressing the final series they defeated Campbelltown City SC of South Australia in the semi-final. Taking on one of Australia's most famous and successful former NSL sides Sydney United 58 FC they were bravely defeated 2-0 in the inaugural Grand Final.

In 2014 South Hobart became the first Tasmanian side to qualify for the FFA Cup. The club was drawn against Tuggeranong United in the round of 32, though lost the match 4–5 on penalties after 1–1 result after extra-time.[1]
