Queanbeyan Football Club

What Queanbeyan Football Club does

Queanbeyan Football Club (legal entity: Queanbeyan Tigers Football Club Inc.) is a community-based Australian Rules football club founded in 1925 in Queanbeyan, NSW, Australia, competing in AFL Canberra across senior men's, women's, and junior grades. It is the oldest Aussie Rules club in the district and operates as a member-owned incorporated association under a volunteer Board of Directors with a paid headcount of approximately 7.

The club's commercial engine is the Tigers Licensed Club — a hospitality venue at 30 Queenbar Rd, Karabar, established in 1983 — which provides bistro dining (including the on-site Himalayan Tiger Kitchen restaurant), bar service, gaming facilities (TAB, Keno), function and event hire, and member amenities. Adjacent football operations are headquartered at Patches Asphalt Park. Supporting revenue streams include recurring club membership subscriptions, merchandise sales via an online store, and ticketed events including the 2024 centenary celebrations.

The organisation generates revenue through four primary streams: (1) licensed club transactions (food, beverage, gaming), (2) recurring membership subscriptions, (3) merchandise sales, and (4) function/event hire and ticketed special events. It is sustained by over 50 volunteers and a sponsor base that includes Canberra Data Centres, Hellenic Club, Tony Innaimo Transport, and Ian McNamee. Technology footprint is modest — Wix-hosted website, TeamApp for senior football operations, on-site Wi-Fi, and standard gaming terminals — with no disclosed AI, proprietary platform, or data product.
