Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox Australian football club The Belconnen Magpies Football Club is an Australian rules football club which competes in the AFL Canberra.[1][2] They previously played in the now defunct North East Australian Football League competition.[3]

History

Originally known as the Turner Football Club, the club became known as Belconnen in 1970 and was admitted to the Canberra Australian National Football League in 1971.[4] Wearing a navy blue guernsey with a white monogram, the club was known as the "Bees" from 1971 until 1979, then as the "Blues" following the ANU Blues' withdrawal from the league during 1979.[5]

Before the 1986 season, the Belconnen club merged with the West Canberra Football Club to become the "Belconnen Magpies".[6] The team began to wear the traditional magpie black and white stripes and in 1991 the club moved its headquarters to Kippax.[7] In 1998 the colour teal was added to the existing black and white jumper.[8]

The newly formed team did not taste premiership success until 2002 when they won three consecutive premierships.[7] The club also clinched the 2009 premiership, with a six-point grand final win over Ainslie.[9] The Magpies then went on to win their fifth premiership in 2023, defeating Ainslie by 39 points.[10]
