Somerset Football Club, also known as the "Sharks", is a soccer club which represents Somerset in the Tasmanian Northern Premier League. The club also fields teams in all junior divisions, as well as women's teams. Somerset play their home games at Somerset Recreation Ground, in Somerset, Tasmania.
Somerset Football Club was formed in 1979 by a dedicated group of player on the northwest coast seeking a club for the Somerset and Wynyard area. They began their life playing home games at Wynyard High School, before relocating to the Somerset Recreation Ground.
