The club is based in the Melbourne suburb of Mordialloc and started out in the Federal Football Association.

Since 1927, the club has played at Ben Kavanagh Reserve in McDonald St, Mordialloc, a ground which is notable for its long length & similar size playing area as the MCG.

The following season the club broke through for their first VFA premiership with a 38-point win over Yarraville, under the leadership of captain-coach Geoff Rosenow.

As a result of the premiership, Mordialloc was promoted to Division 1, but lasted only one season before being relegated.

[2] Mordialloc's time in the VFA ended three matches into the 1988 season when they resigned due to poor onfield performances and the uncertain future of the VFA's second division.
