The Tumbarumba Football Club was formed in 1969 and commenced playing in the Upper Murray Football League in 1971, the club is based in a Rugby League dominated town and has struggled for success on-field since its formation. Senior success has been scarce for the Kangaroos; however, they have won numerous reserve flags whilst their junior sides have been the most successful of any club in the past decade.
The club has been runners up in 1980, and 1998 and 2008 before winning back-to-back premierships in 2012 and 2013.
