Founded 1990 Home Ground Training: Regents Park Matches: Bounds Green Teams: North London Lions (Premiership) Regents Park Lions (Conference) Honours Premiership Flag Winners - 2001, 2002 About Us North London Lions have a long and proud association with Australian Football in the UK. We are a founding club of the BARFL and have established ourselves as one of the most popular teams in the competition. We have won the pre-season competition twice (1998, 2000), and after many agonising preliminary final loses we were finally rewarded with our first Grand Final victory in 2001.
Aside from our BARFL involvement, North London Lions sees itself as a club with a serious commitment to promoting Australian football to the wider British community and the world. Over many years it has dedicated itself to a number of initiatives that have done much to promote the game beyond the Australian expatriate community in London.
In particular, the club is proud of its pioneering efforts in establishing links with leagues outside the UK. We were the first British club to play against a representative Danish team in Denmark (1992), and the first against an Irish club in Ireland (1999). The 1992 match against Denmark is arguably Australian football's first ever International, and the club continues to commit itself to at least one overseas match every year. The club has also worked hard to support emerging teams outside of the London area and we play the leading role in supporting junior development programs in English schools. In addition, North London has made a huge commitment to the all-British Australian Rules Football Team in providing coaches, equipment, players and facilities.
