History.
The club was established as "Portland Football Club" on June 6, 1876 at a meeting held at Mac's Hotel. Portland's current colours (black and gold) were first used in 1902 and again in 1909, but changed in 1919. The distinctive black with gold sash came into being in 1930.
Hanlon Park became Portland's home ground in 1923 and has remained as such, except for 1961 when Henty Park was used while Hanlon Park was top dressed. Before 1923, football was played from 1866 on the cricket ground the North Cliff.
In 1931 the club joined the Western District FL after previously playing in a local competition that had local clubs nearby. The development of the automobile allowed the team to travel greater distances and play against larger towns. The club soon developed a rivally against Hamilton, Coleraine and Casterton.
The Western Border Football League (an amalgamation of the Western District Football League and the South Eastern Border Football League) was formed in 1964.
At the Annual General Meeting of the Club held on 16 February 1994, the name of the club was changed to the Portland Football-Netball Club and became incorporated under that name on 29 March 1994.
Subsequent to this, the name of the Club changed to its present title, namely the Portland Football Netball Cricket Club at a Special General Meeting on 9 March 2006.
In 2013 Portland opted to transfer to the Hampden Football Netball League. This move came when the Hamilton and Imperials clubs decided to merge and also desired to transfer to the Hampden FNL.
