Hobart Olympic was formed in 1957 as "The Grecians", and for the most part of their history have been predominantly represented by players of ethnic Greek background. The club headquarters are located at the Hobart Hellenic Club. In 1958 they changed their name to "Olympia" a name which they kept unchanged until 1997, until ethnic affiliations were removed from Australian football.

Hobart Olympic have been one of the more successful Tasmanian club, winning the State Championship on seven occasions, although they have struggled to emulate the glory of the 1960's. During the 60's they won 5 consecutive State Championship , 5 Southern titles, 2 Ampol Cup wins, 3 Falkinder Cup wins and 2 Association Cup wins.

Hobart Olympic built strong teams throughout the 1980's and 1990's who were highly competitive, but have so far failed to recapture their former glory.
