South Hobart Soccer Club is the oldest Association football club in Tasmania, as well as one of the most successful. They have won the State Championship a record 12 times. Add to this a remarkable 15 Southern titles, 11 KO Cups, and 6 Falkinder cups plus various other trophies, and they stand out as Tasmania's most successful club. They played their first match on 21st May 1910 . South Hobart won the league for the first time in 1919, and won the next five in a row. Although successful through their existence, they have failed to emulate this early glory. The 60's saw the influx of ethnic based clubs, and South Hobart has taken until the 21st Century to return to their former glory.
