Club song: Green Ginger Wine
(to the tune of California Here I come)
We're the mighty Uni team
By far the best you've ever seen
With talent, and teamwork, we always combine
And when we, get tired, Sandy gives us ginger wine
But we're the fittest team you know
And Bob Neil is a legend so
Open up those kegs of beer
Cause we'll win the flag this year
The Blacks, the Blacks, the Blacks are fit
The Blacks, the Blacks, the Blacks suck piss!
The Adelaide University Football Club Inc. (AUFC) is a South Australian based amateur Australian rules football club that hasn't won a Division 1 flag since 1999. It is an affiliate of the Adelaide University Sports Assoc. and plays in the SAAFL. The club promotes itself as the largest amateur football club in Australia. The club trains on Beautiful University Oval located across the river from the University which forms part of Park 12, and Park 10 in the portion of the Adelaide Parklands between the University and North Adelaide. It is one of the most decorated clubs in the University's history. The Club has played in every season of the SAAFL competition, won 23 Division 1 premierships, had 8 Division 1 medallists, 48 state players, 4 All-Australian captains (McLeod, Muir, Rofe, J.F. Sangster), and the first AAFC Carnival medallist to play for S.A. (Paul Rofe).
The Adelaide University Football Club was officially formed on 26 March 1906 and became affiliated with the Sports Association two weeks later on 9 April 1906. Prior to this time, there was no University Football team competing in a regular competition; however, games were arranged on an irregular basis.
