History
The Victorian statewide under-18 competition has had a Tasmanian presence since 1995, when a team named the Tassie Mariners entered the boys league and competed until the end of the 2002 season. By the late 2000s, Tasmania had returned to the boys competition as an "academy team", before graduating to full-time status as the Tasmania Devils in the 2019 season. The girls team began competing as an "academy team" in 2019 before becoming a full-time team in the 2021 season.Home grounds
The Devils split home matches between York Park in Launceston and Bellerive Oval in Hobart.Honours
