The Seaford Football Netball Club, nicknamed the Tigers, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the south eastern region of Australia, first organised in late 1921. Formation meetings were held at Armstrong's Grocery Store, Martins Garage and Weatherley's Milk Bar.[1]
The football team currently competes in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League. The netball department began at the club in 2011. The club also introduced women's football in 2013.
At end of the 2016 season, Seaford FNC fielded three men's, four netball and three women's football sides.
