Our History

The Old Xaverians Football Club is one of Australia's most successful sporting clubs.

Founded in 1923 by alumni of Melbourne's Xavier College, and affiliated with the Victorian Amateur Football Association since inception, the Old Xavs are today a progressive, professional organisation and one of Australia's largest clubs.

The club maintains a close relationship with Xavier College, which remains the major source of recruits to the Old Xavs.

The 1990s were a golden era for the Old Xavs, winning a VAFA record of six A Section premierships in six years as well as numerous flags in the Reserve, Club XVIII and Under 19 Sections.

That success has come from the efforts of many over the years - from committee, players and coaches, generous sponsors and supporters, who have contributed to the illustrious history of Australia's finest amateur football club.

Over the next weeks, months and years, as the Old Xavs continue to make history, we will add the story of the OXFC to these pages, quite appropriately recognising the efforts of those who have come before us and built the traditions over the years.

Any contributions from Old Xaverians of eras bygone that will add to our story are welcome. Please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have old documents, papers, or just a story to tell.
