About the Arizona Hawks

The men and women of the Arizona Hawks Australian Rules Football Club compete in the United States Australian Football League (USAFL) with almost 50 other clubs from across the USA and Canada.  Playing Australian Rules Football (Aussie Rules) provides our men and women the opportunity to learn a unique, fast-paced, exciting sport that utilizes a wide range of skills, builds confidence and character, and promotes personal well-being and fitness while also teaching the value of teamwork, camaraderie and preparation in achieving success.  

Established in 1999, the Arizona Hawks has a 25 year legacy of development and participation in Aussie Rules in Arizona and the United States. Our efforts have culminated in multiple USAFL National Championships, including most recently in 2021 winning Men’s Division III.  The Arizona Hawks followed up in 2022 finishing as runners-up in the USAFL Men’s Division III National Championship, with three of our players receiving USAFL awards as best and fairest players.

In 2025, the Arizona Hawks will be hosting the USAFL Nationals Tournament for the first time in Arizona.  The culmination of the USAFL 2025 season will occur on the weekend of October 17, 2025, through October 19, 2025, at Kino Sports Park in Tucson. The event will be attended by several thousand players and fans representing clubs from across the USA and Canada.  With a focus on representing Arizona at home for USAFL Nationals, the Arizona Hawks 2025 season includes home matches with the Orange County Giants and San Diego Lions, as well as away games at Orange County Giants, San Diego Lions and North Texas Devils, and participation in the Rob Dollar Cup in San Diego, Stumptown Showdown in Portland, Oregon, and the Western Regional Tournament in Denver.

Off the field, we have over 1,200 active supporters following the club through various social media.  Many of our supporters cheer on the club at home games against visiting teams or participating in social events including Australia Day celebrations in January and our AFL Grand Final Party in September.
