Brisbane North Cougars Netball Club was established in
2001. They represent five netball associations based in
Brisbane, including the Queensland Catholic Netball Association and associations based in Downey Park,
Pine Rivers and
Redcliffe. They have been one of
Queensland's most successful netball clubs, making regular grand final appearances and winning regular premierships. Between 2001 and 2018 they competed in a series of
state leagues organised by
Netball Queensland, including the Dairy Farmers Cup, the Holden Astra Cup, the Holden Cruze Cup, the Queensland Champions Cup and the Queensland State Netball League.[4][5][6][7][8][9] In 2019, along with Bond University Bull Sharks,
Carina Leagues Club Tigers, Ipswich Jets, USC Thunder, Northern Rays and QUT Wildcats, they were founding members of the
HART Sapphire Series.[10][11][12][13] Cougars were subsequently Sapphire premiers in 2020 and 2021.[14][15]
