The club was formed in 1894 [2] and initially played in the Murray Border Football Association in 1894. [3]

When the club won the Federal District Football Association premiership against Cobram Football Club in 1897, they were known as "The Boomerangs" and wore a red and white uniform. [4]

When Barooga FC re-formed in 1907 they wore an all-blue uniform in the Goulburn Valley Football Association in 1907 and 1908.

In 1911, the Boomanoomana Rovers Junior Football Club was established and played in the official Goulburn Valley Junior Football Association (GVJFA) and played their matches in Barooga and in the maroon and gold colours. [5]

The Boomanoomana Rovers won the GVJFA premiership in 1913 [6] and then entered a team in the Goulburn Valley Football Association senior football competition in 1914, then from 1919 [7] to 1921.

Barooga FC were in recess in five separate periods in its early days, until 1929 when it joined the Southern Riverina Football Association for a two-year stint.

Barooga FC then became founding member of the new Murray Football League in 1931. In 1936 Cobram and Barooga football clubs merged and played as the Cobram Barooga United FC for a single season, before the club was officially disbanded in April 1937. [8] The two clubs then reformed as independent bodies, with Cobram re-joining the Murray FL and Barooga joining the Southern Riverina FL.

The club moved across to the Picola & District league in 1959.

The club re-joined the Murray Football League in 1989 where it currently fields four football and eight netball teams each week.
