Club Honour Board

The Norths Devils are one of the oldest Rugby League Clubs in Australia. The Club has a proud record of success having been crowned Club Champions 14 times, along with 14 A Grade/State Premierships.

The Club was first established as Past Grammars in 1923, as a Club for Old Boys of Brisbane Grammar School.  In 1933, with the advent of a district based competition, Past Grammars became Northern Suburbs, the name that continues to this day.

The Norths Devils have had some of the most famous names in Rugby League play and coach for the club.  The list includes two Australian Captains, an Australian Coach, a New Zealand Captain and Coach, almost forty Internationals (Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, PNG, Tonga and Samoa), and 75 Queensland and New South Wales representatives.
