Northern Territory Buffaloes was a baseball team from the Northern Territory that competed in the Australian national Claxton Shield competition from 1981 until 1988. The Buffaloes enjoyed little success during its eight-year admittance winning only 1 game, in 1987, against South Australia. Despite their poor on-field results, the Buffaloes did manage to play a few competitive games. Bill Hutcheson, a catcher from originally Tennant Creek and later Darwin, was the only player to play in all 8 Claxton Shields for the Territory.
