Originally incorporated as the Shailer Park Wildcats Gridiron Football Club in October 1994, the club was based at Homestead Park, Shailer Park. The club was started by the Skelton family - whom remain actively involved with the Wildcats today. Incidentally, the club remains as the only continuous founding affiliate organisation of the Premier Gridiron Football League of Queensland (PGFLQ) now known as Gridiron Queensland (GQ, since 1998).

After the Wildcats first season under the PGFLQ banner (where the club became the 1994 major premiers) at Homestead Park, the club relocated to Bill Norris Oval in Beenleigh where it was hoped that the club would develop and grow. This was the Wildcats home for the next five years.

Though the Wildcats were very successful in the first couple of years, the team began to struggle in 1996 and won only a handful of games during the next few seasons. Ironically though, it was during these years of adversity and defeat where we developed our strong character and proud identity. Wildcats don't give up; this is the attitude that will lead us back to the top of the competition ladder.

In 2000 the club moved again. Upon moving to Usher Park (in Daisy Hill) the club's membership has grown exponentially, as has our performance within the league (GQ). It is here at Usher Park that we have become the strong and highly successful club that we are today. The Wildcats (senior team) have been in the semi-finals ever since moving to Usher Park, and were 'Sunbowl' runners-up in 2005 (seniors) and 2006 (juniors).

The Wildcats have also produced countless Queensland and Australian representatives; including players and coaching staff. With our professional coaching and training staff routinely facilitating positive learning outcomes for new and existing players, this is a trend that is sure to continue.

Craig Weeks, Dave Wimbus, Shane Emery, Aaron Reed, Keiren Tumata, and Summer Dhillon are six  of the eight Wildcats selected to the 2009 Australian Outback.
