Northcote City competes in the Victorian Premier League, football's highest tier outside of the Hyundai A-League. Established in 1960 by a passionate group of Greek migrants, the club moved to its current location at John Cain Memorial Park in 1977. The club has achieved significant success since its return to the top flight in 2010, playing off in finals in 2010 and 2012, and winning the Mirabella Cup in 2011. The club continues to grow its participation, with close to 350 juniors from the ages of 7-18 participating in Football Federation Victoria sanctioned competitions.
