Adelaide Football Club

The Adelaide Football Club, was an Australian rules football club based in North Adelaide, South Australia that competed in the South Australian Football Association from 1885 to 1893. The club was admitted to the SAFA in 1885 following a merger of the two strongest clubs from the Adelaide and Suburban Association, North Adelaide Junior who were the runners up and North Park the 1884 premiers. The new Adelaide senior club won the SAFA premiership in 1886, in just their second season, against the older established SAFA clubs of Norwood, Port Adelaide and South Adelaide who had dominated the competition since it formed in 1877.
