The Tigers joined the Northern Division of the Tasmanian Amateur Football League in 1970 and were quite competitive from the start. During the 1970s, the reserves won a couple of premierships, but the seniors had to wait until 1980 before contesting a grand final, and did not win a flag until the following year. Two further senior premierships followed during the 1980s, after the second of which, in 1988, Rocherlea defeated southern premier Claremont to claim the state title.
During the 1990s the Tigers continued to thrive, contesting grand finals in 1991, 1993 (2nd Division), 1995 and 1996, for two wins. Meanwhile, the reserves won a record five successive flags between 1987 and 1991.
The Northern Tasmanian Football Association replaced the northern division of the amateurs in 1997. Rocherlea competes in division one of this competition.
