The Sydney University Football Club, founded in 1863 (this date is disputed by historian Tom Hickie who argues that it was 1865),^[2] is the oldest club now playing rugby union in Australia.^[3]

The Sydney University Football Club is the oldest club outside of Britain and the eighth oldest in the world after Guy’s Hospital (1843), Dublin University (1854), Edinburgh Academicals (1857), Liverpool (1857), Blackheath (1858), Richmond (1861) and Sale (1861). “On the afternoon of 19th August 1865 a rugby match was played on the University grounds. After an exciting struggle, which lasted an hour and a half, during which no goals were obtained by either side, the game was stopped owing to a misunderstanding with regard to the rules.” Sydney Morning Herald 22 August 1865.

Sydney Uni was a member of the inaugural Sydney club competition in 1874,^{[citation needed]} along with the Balmain Rugby Union Football Club, Newington College and The King's School. The club currently competes in the Shute Shield competition and has the most senior premiership titles of all Sydney clubs.^{[citation needed]}

After playing home games at the Sydney University Oval No.1 for 153 years, the club switched to Oval No.2 for the 2016 season. The Sydney University Sports and Fitness Union completed the building of a new training facility and grandstand at that ground accommodating 1,200 spectators.^[1]

History

The club is officially known as "Sydney University Football Club" because it was the first club of any football code in NSW. The club also played Australian rules football in its early history, making it the first NSW club in that code as well.^[4]

The club is often referred to as the "Students". Its nicknames have also included "Quizkids" and "Varsity". It is also referred to as "The Birthplace of Australian Rugby" or simply "The Birthplace".^{[citation needed]}
