The Epping Football Club has a long and proud history. Formed in 1895, the club began playing social matches up until joining the Whittlesea and District Football Association in 1904.
In 1906 the Bourke-Evelyn Football Association was formed with Epping as one of the foundation teams. The club remained in the Bourke-Evelyn Football Association until the league folded in 1932, dominating the competition, winning 10 Premierships along the way.
In 1933, Epping Football Club joined the Diamond Valley Football League and won the premiership in their first season. Epping won another five premierships up until 1981 when the League was split into two divisions. Epping has since won a further two premierships in second division. The club competed in Division One from 1991 until the end of the 2007 season. The Blues have been in Second Division since.
Epping Football Club boasts a strong junior affiliate club – fielding ten junior teams from the under 9s through to the under 17s.
