Teams

[edit]

After the 2015 season it was decided that the NSL would be cut to 12 teams from 14. This meant that Maniacs and Warriors the two lowest finishing teams were removed from the NSL for the 2015 season.

Warriors would compete as part of the newly formed NSL 2 in 2015, whereas Maniacs disbanded as a team altogether.
