Bulls FC Academy is an semi-professional soccer club based in the Sydney suburb of Northbridge, New South Wales, Australia.

[1] Northbridge FC was established in 1952 by local postman Ron Hall who had previously relocated from his work in the coalfields in the Cessnock area of the Hunter Valley.

[2] In 2014, Northbridge established an agreement with A-League club Central Coast Mariners to form a youth development academy in Sydney's North Shore.

[5] On forming the partnership the Mariners stated that they believe Northbridge to be the biggest club (in terms of player numbers) in the Southern Hemisphere.

[citation needed] On 27 October 2020 the club announced it was returning to the Northbridge FC name, as the partnership with Central Coast Mariners was being discontinued.

[10] However, as the ground did not meet the NPL NSW 1 criteria, the men's team had to move to play their home games at the Sydney United Sports Centre for the 2021 season.

All three divisions won and at the end of 2016 had finished 13th out of 14 on the Club Championship, thus avoiding relegation with Fraser Park FC dropping to the 3rd tier of NSW football instead.

[citation needed] As a result of winning the 2019 NPL2 Club Championship North Shore have been promoted to NPL1 for the first time in their history and will play their games out of Lambert Park, Leichhardt.
