Northern Fury Football Club was an Australian professional soccer club based in Townsville, Queensland. The club was founded in 2008 and competed in the A-League under the name North Queensland Fury. On 1 March 2011, the club was removed from the league due to financial instability. On 3 October 2012, the club officially re-formed after it was granted a licence to participate in the National Premier League Queensland.[2] After rebranding themselves as "North Queensland United" in 2017,[3] the club disbanded a second time at the end of the 2018 Football Queensland season.[4] The club played their home fixtures at Townsville Sports Reserve.
