History

The Point Cook Football Club was established in October 2003 as an Australian Rules Junior Football Club, catering for the needs of Junior footballers in the Point Cook and surrounding areas. 2004 was the first year of football competing in the Western Region Football League (WRFL).

Due to the growth of the members and the need for Senior football in the area, the Point Cook Football Club entered Senior and Reserve teams in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) in season 2010.

In 2014 the Point Cook Football Club fielded their very first 'Youth Girls' team with players aged between 13 – 18 competing against other girls the same age. In 2015 the Point Cook Football Club fielded their first 'Superules' team with players aged over 35 competing against other teams in the AFL Masters, Victorian Metropolitan League

Following a Special Meeting of the members and a vote the club moved its Senior & Reserve Sides from the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) Division 3 to enter the Western Region Football League (WRFL) in Division 2 for the 2018 Season.

In 2018 the Club entered 2 teams (Point Cook Blue & Point Cook Red) into the Western Region Football League (WRFL) Inaugural netball Competition, where Point Cook Blue won the Inaugural Victoria University Western Region Football League (WRFL) Netball Premiership Defeating Braybrook Red by 34 goals.^[2]

Also in 2018 in its first year in the Western Region Football League (WRFL) Division 2 competition the Seniors took out the Premiership Defeating Yarraville Seddon Eagles by 7 points at Avalon Airport Oval, Werribee.^[3] Gaining promotion into Division 1 in Season 2019.^[4]

Due to the growth of Female Football, the Club entered a Senior Women's team into the Western Region Football League (WRFL) Competition for the 2019 Season.

In June 2022, Point Cook Junior Massimo D'Ambrosio, was selected at Pick 3 in the 2022 AFL Mid Season Draft, by Essendon.^[5] Massimo became the first Point Cook Junior to be drafted by an AFL Club. And in Round 14 2022 Massimo made his AFL debut against St Kilda. 2 weeks later Massimo was the Round 16 NAB AFL Rising Star Nominee for his match against Sydney.^[6]
