History
Ku-ring-gai & District Soccer Association purchased a NSW Soccer Federation Division 1 license from the Balmain Tigers in 2002. The name was then changed to Northern Tigers and Northern Tigers FC was established.
In 2003 they were premiers of FNSW Men's Division 1 and were promoted to the FNSW Super League (now National Premier Leagues NSW Men's 2). In 2007 they were Premiers of Super League but declined promotion to FNSW Premier League (now National Premier Leagues NSW Men's 1). In 2010 they were Champions of FNSW Super League after defeating St. George FC 4–0 in the Grand Final.
The 2015 NPL NSW2 season, saw their senior side crowned champions however due to the club championship promotion criteria by Football NSW (which are points accumulated across the U20' and U18's as well), they were not promoted.

Northern Suburbs Football Association
The Northern Suburbs Football Association was formed in April 1957 as Ku-Ring-Gai & District Soccer Association (KDSA). There were five foundation clubs – Kissing Point, Wahroonga, West Pymble, North Turramurra and Lindfield. The first representative teams entered in NSW Federation competitions in 1959 or 1960, with the first senior representative side competing in 1963 as Ku-Ring-Gai United. In 1970 Ku-ring-gai merged with Artarmon to enter the NSW Federation competition and changed its name in 1972 to Ku-ring-gai Soccer Club. NSW Soccer Federation also approved the merger of the KDSA with the Northern Suburbs Soccer Association for the 1973 season. The district would continue to operate as KDSA. In 2012, the association changed its named to Northern Suburbs Football Association to more accurately reflect district boundaries and remain in line of the national use of "football" within federations.
