History
The Northern Territory joined the under-17s National Championship as the Northern Territory representative team in 1979.[6]
In 2000, the club joined the TAC Cup (later known as the NAB League and currently known as the Talent League). The club lost the two games it played, one against Sandringham Dragons and the other against Geelong Falcons.[7]
NT Thunder did not compete in the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons. The club was scheduled to compete in the 2020 season, however it was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
In 2021, the club returned with a side in the NAB League Girls competition for the first time.[9]
