St Mary's Football Club (NTFL)
St Mary's Football Club, often referred to as simply St Mary's or the Saints, is an Australian rules football club based in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. The club competes in the Northern Territory Football League (NTFL).
Founded in 1952, St Mary's is one of the most successful clubs in the NTFL, boasting a significant number of premierships. The club is known for its strong Indigenous Australian representation and passionate supporter base. Their home ground is the TIO Stadium in Darwin.
The club colours are green, white, and gold. St Mary's plays its matches primarily during the NTFL's 'wet season' competition, which runs from October to March, allowing players from southern Australian leagues to participate during their off-season. This often leads to a high standard of competition within the NTFL.

The club plays a vital role in the local community, providing opportunities for young people to participate in sport and fostering a sense of belonging.
