The Googong Hogs are an Australian rules football based in the New South Wales town of Googong.[5][6] The club competes in the AFL Canberra Community Division and plays its home games at Rockley Oval.[7][8]

History

[edit]

Googong was founded in 1976 as the HMAS Harman Australian Football Club, nicknamed the "Hogs".[9] The club was located around Royal Australian Navy (RAN) base HMAS Harman, allowing both civilians and defence personnel (regardless of rank) the opportunity to play for the club.[9] Because of the club's origins in the Australian Defence Force (ADF), it has a rivalry with the ADFA Rams.[10]

Harman initially competed in the Monaro Australian Football League (MAFL), making its first grand final in 1981 before being defeated by ANU.[9][11] The club formed a reserves team in 1982.[12][13]

After a winless 1984 season, the club won its first premiership in Division 2 in 1985.[9] The club was undefeated in 1986 and won a second premiership in Division 1.[9]

In 1995, Harman joined the Canberra District Football League (CDFL), winning the Division 2 premiership the same year and being promoted to Division 1 for the 1996 season.[9] During the 2002 season, the club was known as the "OZINVEST Harman Hogs" under sponsorship naming rights.[14] By 2005, Harman had returned to the MAFL.[15]

At the end of the 2015 season, Harman changed its name to the Googong Hogs, less than two years after residents moved into the newly-developed township of Googong.[16][17]

Googong introduced a women's team for the first time in 2023, entering Community Division 1 and winning a premiership in its first season.[18][19]
