NT Thunder or The Northern Territory Football Club was established in 2009 to utilise the power of Australian Rules Football in anti-social behaviour, deliver educational outcomes and provide employment opportunities for Territorians.

NT Thunder recognises that Australian Rules Football is the language that breaks all barriers across the Northern Territory and through its objectives, the club has cemented its place as a high profile successful sporting organisation that provides life-changing opportunities, penetrates cultural differences and adds significant value to the local community.
