The club was established in 1876, and is currently in the Geelong & District Football League. The club's colours are black and white, with a magpie as their logo. Their home shorts are black with black socks. They have won a total of 17 senior premierships, 11 reserves premierships and 7 U18s premierships. Their home ground is Osborne Park in Swinbourne Street, North Geelong.[3]
The club dominated the league in the 1950s, winning seven premierships in a row and eight premierships in ten years between 1949–1958. In 1959, the club considered joining the Victorian Football Association, which was expanding at the time, and the club approached the VFA to enquire about minimum home ground requirements and the like; but it never ultimately joined.[4]
North Geelong also fielded a women's team in Division 1 of the Victorian Women's Football League (2015), before being elevated to the VFL Women's competition in 2016, playing as the Geelong Magpies. In 2017, after the Geelong Cats took the license for the VFLW team,[5] North Geelong Women's team joined the AFL Goldfields Women's Football League, going through the 2017 season undefeated on the way to beating Redan in the Grand Final.[6]
