The club's colours are yellow and blue and play in the Central Highlands Football League.

The Learmonth FC was founded at the turn of the 19th century and began its first years of existence by playing social matches against the neighbouring towns of Burrumbeet, Coghill's Creek and Waubra.

These games extended further out to Lexton and Ballarat even before the foundation of the Learmonth & District Football Association in 1912 with Burrumbeet and Coghill's Creek winning the first premierships.

Football in the LDFA was suspended from 1914 to 1918 due to World War I but the sport resumed in 1919 and the Lakies won their first flag the following year in 1920.

[1][2] The Learmonth Lakies FC still are a founding member of the CHFL and the club still continues to field junior and senior football and netball teams.
