The Castlemaine Football & Netball Club.

Welcome to the official homepage of the Castlemaine Football & Netball Club.



The Castlemaine Football & Netball Club is based in the rural township of Castlemaine, Vic and joined the Bendigo Football League in 1925. It was in 1859, that the actual Castlemaine Football club was formed, making last year, 2009, the 150th anniversary of the club.

It is argued that the Castlemaine Football Club is the 2nd oldest in Australia, behind only the Melbourne Football Club and additionally, one of  the oldest in the world. Castlemaine is a proud club with a proud history of past players and achievements.

Recent years have seem some major upgrades to the Castlemaine Football & Netball Club social side, with a full renovation of the clubrooms. The clubroom facilities have been completely gutted, fully renovated and simply look fantastic. Huge thanks to all of those who have made this possible, and please come and check out our new facilities, which now include a great kitchen area, bar, central heating and big screen TV's.
