Welcome to the home of the Maitland Saints Australian Football Club.
Maitland Saints AFC – Where Passion Meets Community
Founded in 2007 as a Junior AFL Club and expanding into senior football in 2012, the Maitland Saints AFC has grown into one of the Hunter region’s most exciting and welcoming AFL clubs. Based in Rutherford, our home ground is Max McMahon Oval, located at the corner of Weblands Street and Alexandria Avenue — the heart of Saints football.
We proudly attract players from across Maitland, Dungog, Cessnock, Kurri, Raymond Terrace, Beresfield, Branxton and beyond. Today, the Saints field junior and senior teams for both male and female players, all competing in the Hunter Coast AFL Competitions.
Backed by a passionate board and strong leadership, the Maitland Saints AFC is more than just a football club — it’s a community. We’re committed to creating an inclusive, positive environment where players of all abilities can grow, compete, and enjoy the game they love. Players, families, volunteers, supporters and sponsors are all a vital part of the Saints family.
