History
The club started as "Railway Football Club" in 1893 and were known as "Essendon" in the 1898 season. It fielded a team in the NTFA Junior Competition for three years, and began playing in the senior competition in 1896.[1]
Its first season under the North Launceston name was in 1899 when it played in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association.
The club has remained in the top tier of state competition ever since, playing in the Tasmanian Football League and Northern Tasmanian Football League upon the competition restructures in the state.
The club accepted an invitation to join the new Tasmanian State League that commenced in 2009.
The club won the Tasmanian State Premiership in 1905 and 1906 (both unofficial), 1947, 1949, 1950, 1995, 1998, 2014 and 2015.[1] Their most recent premiership success came in the 2017 TSL season.
