Club History
The merger of Echuca East Football Club and Echuca South Football Club to become Echuca United Football Club in 1994. The club competed in the Northern and Echuca League as the hawks, wearing brown and gold vertical striped jumpers. After the league disbanded in 1996, the club joined the murray league. The club was forced to change their jumpers due to the Barooga Hawks(already in the murray league) having the same jumpers. Echuca United then became the Eagles and used the same jumper designs as the West Coast Eagles. At the beginning of the 2002 season the eagles purchased new jumpers with a new eagle design adopted.
Since 1997 the club has played in the Murray Football League, the club has made the finals on four occasions, 1998, 2006, 2007 and 2012. Their best result was being Runners-up in 2006. They have won 119 matches, lost 177 and one draw.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or history:
“He loved to sit silent in a corner of his club and listen to the loud chattering of politicians, and to think how they all were in his power—how he could smite the loudest of them, were it worth his while to raise his pen for such a purpose.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
