By the 1920s, East Sydney had become one of the most successful clubs in Sydney, along with Paddington Australian Football Club.
In 1926, it merged with the Paddington club to become the Eastern Suburbs Australian Football Club.
The home ground for East Sydney Football Club was Trumper Park in Paddington (named after Australian test cricketer Victor Trumper).
