The Nhill and District Sporting Club Inc was formed in 2001 with the amalgamation of the Nhill and District Football Club, Nhill Netball Club, Nhill Red and Nhill Blue Cricket Clubs. In 2007 The Nhill Hockey Club joined the Nhill and District Sporting Club and in 2010 a soccer division was developed, which lasted for 12 months.

The Sporting club now comprises four sports; cricket, football, hockey and netball.

The club operates from Davis Park and maintains the oval, resulting in one of the best playing surfaces in Western Victoria. Hindmarsh Shire Council own the facilities at Davis Park, including the buildings.

The football division competes in the Wimmera Football League (WFL).[1] They are based in the township of Nhill, Victoria.
