History

Box Hill North was formed in 1983 from a genuine merger of 2 local clubs - Blackburn United formed c.1940 and St Andrews (Box Hill) formed c. 1960.

The club jumper is a modern design, mainly red with our demon "Hughie" and pitchfork.

Box Hill North have won 2 premierships (1991 & 1995). In season 2002 BHNFC obtained admittance to the prestigious Victorian Amateur Football Association - the premier competition in Victoria after the AFL/VFL.

The culture of the club is to play as amateurs for the love and enjoyment of the game with many local players, supporters and officials donating their time to the club.

BHNFC are also involved with Aussie Rules in Japan as the sister club of the Japan Australian Rules Football League. Every second year BHNFC send a team to Japan for the Narita Cup as well as playing host to the touring Samurai. Several Japanese players have also joined Box Hill North adding further to our multicultural member base.

BHNFC players are covered by a Player Code of Conduct to ensure the highest possible standards are maintained by the playing group while they are representing the club.

BHNFC have achieved Level 2 in the Good Sports program.
