The Adelaide Football Club, often referred to as the Old Adelaide Football Club, was an Australian rules football club based in Adelaide. Founded on 26 April 1860, it was the first football club formed in South Australia.
The club played interclub football in South Australia until 1872, when it had disputes with Kensington and Port Adelaide over the rules, but club resumed interclub matches in 1875.
In 1876, the Adelaide Club rules were adopted by all the South Australian clubs at a meeting organised by Charles Kingston from the South Adelaide Football Club, and in 1877, the Adelaide club captain Richard Twopeny called an initial meeting which led to the formation of the South Australian Football Association (SAFA)[1] and participated in the competition from 1877–81 and 1885–93.
The club won successive premierships in interclub competition in 1871-72, and also won the 1886 SAFA premiership. The club withdrew in writing from the SAFA in March 1894 before the commencement of the season.
The Old Adelaide Football Club has no relation to the current Adelaide Football Club currently playing in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).
