Australian rules football in the Northern Territory has a history dating back to the 1910s and is the most popular sport in the territory, particularly with indigenous Australian communities in Darwin, Alice Springs and the Tiwi Islands.
7% of all Northern Territorians in 2007 participated in Australian rules football, the highest participation in Australia (and second worldwide only to Australian rules football in Nauru). The sport also produces more professional Australian rules footballers per capita in the Australian Football League than any other state or territory.
