List of Croatian football clubs in Australia

The Croatian community of Australia has played an important part in the history of Australian football (soccer). Countless clubs have been formed over the years in every state and territory, except for the Northern Territory. The oldest Croatian club in Australia is the Adelaide Raiders, founded in 1952. The most successful and largest Croatian clubs in Australia are the Melbourne Knights and Sydney United, both clubs played in the National Soccer League for 21 seasons. The Croatian community holds the Australian-Croatian Soccer Tournament, which has been held annually since 1974.
