Australian Rules Football was first played in the Solomon Islands back in 2003 with some junior clinics held by Garry McKenzie and members of the Australian Defence Force, stationed in the country to help restore order after years of civil unrest.
The first AGM of the Solomon Islands Australian Rules Football Association was held in August 2004 at the National Sports Centre, with around 100 people attending, almost all being locals.

The committee was elected and subsequently met to discuss plans for developing the code, agreeing to work on a development program that will focus on designing programs for kids that is range from 12yrs to 18yrs old.

The committee also implemented a 5 year development plan that included
