History

Formed after a public meeting on the 21 April 1890, at Gissing’s Gippsland Hotel, Beaconsfield (now the Central Hotel), it was agreed to form a football club. A team representing the Town of Beaconsfield played a number of friendly matches that year. Their first game was against Cranbourne in which they lost. Beaconsfield then went onto play Berwick and Pakenham, and lost every game.
 
Despite initial enthusiasm the club rarely participated in any organised competitions until after WWII.
 
After a recess during the war years, the club reformed in 1947 as Officer-Beaconsfield, competing in the Dandenong & District Football Association, In 1948 it reverted to the Beaconsfield Football Club and achieved its first premiership in 1953 when it defeated Keysborough in the B grade Grand Final.
 
	
In 1954 Beaconsfield was a foundation member of the South West Gippsland Football League, and won premierships in 1974, 1980 and 1981.
 	
In 1993 the club transferred to West Gippsland Football League and had success in 1999 and 2001.
 
	
A major VCFL restructure saw Beaconsfield join the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League in 2002 and senior premierships were achieved in 2003, 2004 and 2014.
