The Port Noarlunga Football Club is an Australian rules football club first formed in 1935. Port Noarlunga initially played a four-season stint in the Glenelg District Football Association before going into recess.
A revived Port Noarlunga club joined the Southern Football Association in 1947 where they have remained since. The Port Noarlunga FC continues to field teams in Senior and Junior grades in the Southern Football League.
Port Noarlunga FC has produced three Australian Football League (AFL) players, Ryan Fitzgerald, formerly of the Adelaide and Sydney clubs, Matt Coulthard, formerly of the Richmond Football Club [1] and currently Noah Howes drafted by Collingwood Football Club in the 2025 AFL Mid Season Draft.
Port Noarlunga FC also have some exciting future draft prospects including Archie Van Dyk who will be eligible for draft at the end of the 2026 season, and in future years Zemes Pilot, Lucas Marshall and Bailey James are all representing South Australia in State football and are a young exciting talent.
On the 16th of August 2025 Bailey James made his A grade debut for Port Noarlunga at the age of 15 years and 4 months making him the youngest debutant for Port Noarlunga in their rich 90 year history.
To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Southern Football League, each club was asked to name their "Greatest Team" whilst participating in the SFL. [2] [3]
