History

It has been said that Kyneton was the Victorian town where the first organized regional football match was contested, although other records indicate that a game was played at Castlemaine in June 1859. The first match in Kyneton was held in the early 1860s, with 84 players on the field. The match was played at the Showgrounds Oval
As a formal competition was established in Kyneton in 1868, with Ballarat's starting in 1869 and Castlemaine's in 1871, being the first competitions in the region until the Victorian Football League was founded in 1877.
The club went into recess in 2013 citing a player shortage, but returned to the competition in 2014.
