History Brisbane North Cougars Netball Club was established in 2001. They represent five netball associations based in Brisbane, including the Queensland Catholic Netball Association and associations based in Downey Park, Pine Rivers and Redcliffe. They have been one of Queensland's most successful netball clubs, making regular grand final appearances and winning regular premierships. Between 2001 and 2018 they competed in a series of state leagues organised by Netball Queensland, including the Dairy Farmers Cup, the Holden Astra Cup, the Holden Cruze Cup, the Queensland Champions Cup and the Queensland State Netball League.
