Warragul Football Club is an Australian rules football club currently in the Gippsland Football League (GFL), fielding Senior, Reserve, Under 18 and Under 16 football teams, as well as A, B, C Grade and Under 17, Under 15 and Under 13 netball teams.
The Club was formed in 1879 by William Paul and its first games were played against other local football clubs including Drouin, Buln Buln, Morwell, Traralgon and Berwick.
Warragul's guernsey was originally black with a red V, until 2000 when the guernsey was changed to the current colours of teal, white, red and black.
The 'Gulls' have had a proud history especially through the successful years of the early 1920s, 1970s and 1980s.
Lean seasons in 1998 and 1999 in the Gippsland/Latrobe FL, saw the club transfer to the West Gippsland FL, with the thought of providing a better chance of retaining players. The Victorian Country Football League provided this clearance for the Gulls to the WGFL, where they played from 2000-2004. However, the merging of the GLFL and WGFL saw Warragul resume its battles with former foes from 2005.
Since 2005, the club has been a part of the Gippsland FL, competing against clubs such as Bairnsdale, Drouin, Garfield (until their transfer to the EDFL), Moe, Morwell, Traralgon, Maffra, Sale, Wonthaggi and Leongatha.
In 2010 and 2011, Warragul finished bottom of the ladder, winning only one game in each respective season. The club is currently building a young base of players to build on into the future, many of whom had success with the club in both the Under 16 and 18's previously.
