The Rutherglen Football Club is an Australian rules football club playing their home games in Rutherglen, Victoria, Australia. The current Rutherglen was created after the merger of Ovens & Murray Football League sides Rutherglen and Corowa in 1979. Surplus players formed the Rutherglen-Corowa FC and played in the Coreen & District Football League for 13 years. A stint in the Ovens & King Football League followed before moving to the Tallangatta & District Football League. The club dropped the Corowa part in their name in 2002.
