The club colours are maroon and white. The Wolves have senior teams in Divisions 1, 2, 4, and 5 and an under 18's team in the Challenge Cup.

Manly Warringah's home ground is Weldon Oval located in the northern Sydney suburb of Harbord.

History

The Manly-Warringah Wolves were formed in 1969. Founding members Harry Marston, George Klause and Bruce Hutton discovered enough interest on the northern beaches for an Australian Rules team to be formed. The club started in the SFL Under-20 competition.

The following year Manly-Warringah joined the newly formed Sydney District Association. The formation of this competition was the culmination of several clubs’ efforts, none more so than Manly, and in particular Harry Marston.

The Wolves grew and became a dominant performer in the Sydney Football Association. Manly-Warringah has now won Sydney AFL First Grade premierships in 1990, 1995, 1996 and in recent years has reached the finals in the past 6 successive seasons including another premiership in 2007.

Premierships: 1985, 1990, 1995, 1996 and 2007.
