The North Adelaide Football Club, known as the Victorian Football Club from its founding until 1883, was an Australian rules football club based in Adelaide, South Australia.[2] Formed in 1875, the club was a founding member of the South Australian Football Association (SAFA) in 1877, and shared the competition's inaugural premiership with South Adelaide.[3] Having struggled to compete in its later years, the club disbanded at the end of the 1884 season, having finished last in each of the preceding two seasons.[4]
One notable game that the Victorian Football Club played was the first intercolonial match involving a South Australian club. The game was held on 11 August 1877 on the Adelaide Exhibition Grounds against the Melbourne Football Club with the visitors winning 1 goal to nil.[5]
