The South Yarra Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra which was seminal in the formative years of the sport of Australian rules football. While it played under different rules to the later dominant Melbourne Football Club rules, it was involved in the rules committee for the Laws of Australian Football between 1860 and 1866 and was the first known club believed to have played with the rule that is now known as Push in the back, advocating strongly for its inclusion in the laws of the game.

  • The South Yarra Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in the Melbourne suburb of South Yarra which was seminal in the formative years of the sport of Australian rules football.

Throughout the first decade of football in Melbourne, South Yarra was one of the pre-eminent clubs in the colony in prestige and performance. In 1865 and 1866, the club won the Athletic Sports Committee Challenge Cup. Its demise played a role in the formation of the modern day St Kilda Football Club, formed in 1873. (en)
