An updated version of this list can be found at Version 2: Most popular Australian athlete and team related Twitter accounts by total followers.
This is sorted by total number of followers. If an account is tagged (unofficial), it indicates that it is not the official account; it belongs to management, a player or a fansite. The list includes teams from most of the major sports leagues in Australia. Teams that play in those leagues that are not from Australia have also been included. Players were only counted as belonging to a team if they currently play for it. (Some players that are on NRL player lists have gone to play in Europe. They aren’t included.) The date that the information was collected is also included as these numbers actively change over time. If some one/team/organization is listed twice, it is because the data was collected on multiple dates.
