Melbourne University Football Club, often known simply as University is an Australian rules football club. The club achieved prominence by being a member of Victoria’s elite competition in the early 20th century, the Victorian Football League (the forerunner of the Australian Football League) between 1908 and 1914. Although there are no records of its exact formation, University’s first recorded match took place in the same month that the Castlemaine Football Club was formed making it likely that University is the second oldest club in Australia after Melbourne.
