The Geelong Falcons are a youth Australian rules football representative club in the TAC Cup competition, Victoria, Australia.
The club takes in talented junior players from the Geelong, Colac and Warrnambool regions in order to prepare them for AFL selection. There is an under-15 vline cup side and an under-16 side, but the club's main focus is its under-18 side, who play a longer season.
