Southport Australian Football Club, also known as the Southport Sharks, is a Gold Coast based club competing in the AFL Queensland Australian rules football competition.
Southport is perhaps the most successful ever Queensland based football club with a total of 12 premierships in only 24 years.
The club is incredibly successful off the field as well, with a social club worth many millions of dollars.
The club has been involved in Australian Football League licence bids since the 1996. To date none of these bids have been granted, however the AFL began taking interest in 2006 with pushes to merge it with a Melbourne based club.
It has produced quality players for the AFL the likes of Marcus Ashcroft, Steven Lawrence, Andrew Raines, Brad Moran and Nick Riewoldt, whilst it has attracted high profile AFL players at the end of their careers, including Warwick Capper and Paul Dimattina.
