The A-League is the premier domestic association football competition in Australia. It was founded in 2004, and the Central Coast Mariners were one of the eight inaugural clubs to participate in the new competition. The A-League competition consists of a regular season and a finals series, with the premiership being awarded to the club who finishes on top of the table in the regular season, and the championship to the winner of the Grand Final. Central Coast finished as runner-up in the 2005–06 season, losing in the Grand Final to Sydney FC.
Central Coast have had eighteen players compete for them who have been capped at international level–fifteen Australians, one Scot, one New Zealander and one Maltese player. This includes the current record-holder for goals for the Australian national team, Damian Mori, who played eight matches for the Mariners in the 2006–07 A-League season and three in the 2007–08 season.

—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
