The St Kilda Football Club is one of the foundation clubs of the Victorian Football League which evolved into the AFL in 1990.

The Saints are one of 18 clubs who compete in the national competition, representing more than 40,000 members and a significant community in Melbourne’s south stretching from Port Melbourne to Portsea.

The Saints have fielded a team in the AFL Women’s competition since 2020, helping change the face of football in the region.

The club is represented in the Victorian Wheelchair Football League and Victorian Blind Football League, and are the reigning premiers of both competitions as of 2025.

The club was previously affiliated with the Sandringham Zebras in the VFL, but will field a standalone side in the competition starting in the 2026 season.

The Sandringham Zebras VFLW side is still aligned with the AFLW program, and will see various Saints pull on the Zebras' jumper.

Born in 1873, St Kilda has a proud history defined by champions such as Darrel Baldock, Trevor Barker, and more recently Nick Riewoldt.

The Saints were originally based at Junction Oval in St Kilda before moving the club’s training and administration base to Moorabbin in 1964.

St Kilda won its first and only premiership in 1966 while enjoying its most successful period in the 1960s.

The Saints were one of the powerhouse teams between 2004 and 2012 when it competed for two flags in 2009 (against Geelong) and 2010 (against Collingwood), winning more games than any other during that period.

St Kilda moved its training and administration base to Seaford in 2011, which paved the way for the redevelopment at RSEA Park in Linton Street, Moorabbin.

In 2018, the Saints returned to their spiritual heartland of Moorabbin and to a new $40 million headquarters that rivals any other in Australian sport.

The club shares these state-of-the-art facilities with the Sandringham Dragons, the Southern Football League and the South Metro Junior Football League, as part of the club’s commitment to the community.

The Saints are proud of their contribution which includes a range of programs designed to foster inclusion and provide an opportunity for every young footballer in the region to reach their potential.
