The Rams joined the TAC Cup competition in 1996 with another non-Victorian team, the Tassie Mariners and also participated in the AFL National Championships. Both sides left the competition in 2002 when the TAC Cup became a Victorian-focused competition. The Rams then played around three or four games a year, with players instead playing club football on the remaining weeks of the year. Prior to the 2014 season, the NSW/ACT Rams was reestablished as a TAC Cup team, with players from the Sydney Swans and Greater Western Sydney Giants young academy sides being picked for the NSW/ACT team. The team played only 7 games in the competition and could not qualify for finals like the Victorian teams in the competition.[1]
NSW/ACT have claimed 8 Division 2 titles in the AFL National Championships however were dropped from both the AFL National Championships and Talent League in 2017 in favour of a club Academy Series featuring the Sydney Swans Academy and Greater Western Sydney Giants Academy.
