The Club was formed in 1879 as part of the first competitive football competition in Geelong.  We have continuously and successfully represented the East Geelong community for the past 130 years, and are now affiliated with the Geelong and District Football League.

In season 2008 the Club fielded 6 junior sides and 2 senior sides: Auskick, U10, U12, U14, U16 and U18 (Juniors) and Seniors and Reserves.  The club also fielded 6 netball sides in 2006: 3 senior sides (A, B and C grade) and 3 junior sides (U/13, U/15 and U/17).  More than 270 players were registered with the Club last year.

The East Geelong Football Club is recognised as a valuable and important institution and is committed to providing high quality opportunities for people to play and enjoy, or be involved with Australian Rules Football and Netball.  All aspects of club operations will be undertaken with integrity and commitment to the Club's purpose, aims and goals.
