OUARFCThe Oxford University Australian Rules Football Club (OUARFC) welcomes players of any ability and nationality, and those both with and without a University affiliation. We play the game of Australian Rules Football (AFL), a game that combines the finesse of soccer with the physical contest of rugby and the fitness of athletics. Our teams have players ranging from those who have never touched a footy to those who have played professionally in Australia.
OUARFC is the oldest AFL Club outside of Australia, and one of the oldest Varsity clubs of the University of Oxford. Formed just prior to World War I, the Club has celebrated its centenary year. The first Oxford-Cambridge match took place in 1907, making this the longest-running Aussie Rules rivalry outside of Australia. OUARFC is also one of the first clubs in the UK to start a women’s AFL team, with the first Oxford women’s match played in February 2015. We are a Half-Blue sport for both Men and Women. |
