[2][3] The Club participated in the B Grade (Reserves) Competition in 1920 and entered the South Australian League in 1921.

The only year this did not occur was in 1991 when Glenelg used Football Park (along with new team Woodville-West Torrens) under the SANFL's ground rationalisation scheme.

In 2012 Glenelg Oval became one of five suburban SANFL grounds to have lights installed for night games.

The record night attendance was set on 25 April 2014 (Anzac Day) when 9,245 saw Glenelg defeat the Adelaide Crows reserves 17.21 (123) to 13.8 (86) for the Tigers first win of the 2014 SANFL season.

Glenelg's champion full-forward, the 1969 Magarey Medallist Fred Phillis, kicked 18 goals for the game, including his 100th for the season.

There have since been 14 induction ceremonies, the most recent taking place in 2021, as the club marked its League centenary celebrations.
