The Austin Turfcats were a professional indoor football team that was a member of the Indoor Football League during the 2010 season, after being a charter member of the Southern Indoor Football League for the SIFL's inaugural 2009 season. Based in Texas' capital city of Austin, the Turfcats played their home games at Luedecke Arena at the Travis County Exposition Center. This was Austin's fourth attempt at an indoor football team; the prior three were the Indoor Professional Football League's Texas Terminators (1999), the National Indoor Football League's Austin Knights/Austin Rockers (2002–2003), and the Arena Football League (later af2's) Austin Wranglers (2004–2008) (the former two of which played in Luedecke Arena before the Turfcats).

Chris Duliban was the team's head coach. He earned his first indoor coaching opportunity as the defensive coordinator of the Indoor Professional Football League's Texas Terminators. Duliban was the head coach for the Centex Barracudas of the Intense Football League in 2008.
