The O’Sullivan Beach Football Club was an Australian rules football club originally formed in 1977, initially just as an U/13 team in the Southern Football League, gradually building up their teams over the following years. In 1981 they fielded their first senior team, in the Southern Football League Division 2 Reserves competition, and in the following season entered the Division 2 A-Grade competition.
O’Sullivan Beach were promoted to the SFL Division 1 competition for the first time in 1987, but dropped to Division 2 after two seasons. Promotion was achieved again for the 1998 season, but dropped again at the end of the 1999 season after finishing bottom both seasons.[1]
O’Sullivan Beach merged with the Lonsdale Football Club at the end of the 2001 to form the O'Sullivan Beach-Lonsdale Football Club for the following season.[1]
O'Sullivan Beach FC produced two Australian Football League (AFL) players, Craig McRae (Brisbane Lions, Brisbane Bears) and Mark Viska (Adelaide).[2]
