In close collaboration with Melbourne University Sport, the Melbourne University Football Club assumes responsibility for the organisation, participation, development and general rectitude of football at the University of Melbourne largely achieved by the activities of our 3 clubs – Melbourne University Women’s Football Club, University Blues and University Blacks – and by fielding teams at the Australian University Games and other intervarsity matches.
Established in 1996, the Melbourne University Women’s Football Club joined the VAFA in the first year of the women’s competition in 2017 after having won three flags in the VWFL in 2002, 2003 and 2005. It didn’t take long for the Mugars to add to their overall trophy cabinet with the William Buck Premier flag in 2018, defeating Marcellin by 18 points after claiming the minor premiership.
