The Congupna Football & Netball Club, nicknamed the Road, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the town of Congupna located just north of Shepparton, Victoria, that currently compete in the Murray FNL.

History

Congupna Football Club formed in 1956 and won the premiership of the Kyabram & District Football League in its first season. Congupna then transferred across to the Benalla Tungamah Football League in 1962.

The club then joined the Murray Football League in 1997.[2]

A "Congupna" football club (with no ties with the current club) played in the Goulburn Valley Football Association from 1891 to 1906, being runners up fives times,[3] only to go into recess for fifty years.
