The Nashville Kangaroos is a United States Australian Football League, USAFL, team, based in Nashville, United States.[1] It was founded in 1997 and is a Founding Club of the USAFL.[2][3] The club's mascot is a red kangaroo, a happy coincidence as the Nashville Zoo features red kangaroos in Kangaroo Kickabout, an interactive exhibit with 4,500 square feet of naturalistic Australian landscape.[4]

In 2021, the Men's team won their first National Championship in Division IV going 4-0 for the clean sweep as National Champions.[5]
