Al Ahli Tripoli Sports Club (English: National Sports Club ; Arabic: النادي الأهلي طرابلس الرياضي), also known as Al Ahl Tripoli, is a Libyan professional football club based in Tripoli. It is the second most successful Libyan club in history after Al-Ittihad, having won 13 Libyan Premier League titles, 7 Libyan Cups and 2 Libyan Super Cups.
The club's crest consists of a green and white background, with a torch placed on an outline of Libya. The torch is meant to signify independence for the nation, as it was achieved just months after the club was founded. The club's crest changed after it won its 10th Libyan Premier League title in 2000, with a star being placed on top.
In the year 2000 Al Ahli Tripoli were involved in one of the world's most confusing seasons as they won the league title twice in one season.
The club won the first national championship in the 1967–68 season, but then suffered a period of seven years until its next win in 1970–71. The club won two of the next three titles, and picked up the last before the cancellation of the league in 1977–78. The 1980s were a very dire period for the club, as their own failure, this meant that their rivals went into the 1990s with six titles to their own five. However, they reached the final of the African Cup Winners' Cup in 1984, where they withdrew from facing Al-Ahly Cairo, as the bad Libyan relationship with Egypt at that time meant that Libyan clubs were banned from facing Egyptian clubs.
