The Coorparoo Football Club, nicknamed the Kings, is an Australian rules football club based in the Brisbane suburb of Coorparoo. The club was formed in 1996, one year after the original Coorparoo club folded.

Coorparoo's men's team currently competes in Division 1 and Division 3 of the Queensland Football Association (QFA), and will enter the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) in 2025. The women's team currently plays in the QAFL Women's (QAFLW) competition.

History

=Formation and early years=

The club was founded in 1996 by Craig Dixon as the Treasury Kings Football Club.{{cite web |title=History |url=https://www.coorparooafc.com.au/history |publisher=Coorparoo Australian Football Club |access-date=4 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160828112912/https://www.coorparooafc.com.au/history |archive-date=28 August 2016}} Dixon worked at Brisbane's Treasury Casino and was responsible for organising an annual "grudge" match of Australian rules football between the Brisbane Treasury Casino and Gold Coast's Jupiters Hotel and Casino.

In 1996, a number of players expressed interest in playing on a more regular basis, and with Dixon's organising, the Kings were born. During their first seasons, the club played in Division 3 of the Brisbane Australian Football League (BAFL) and played at Yeronga Football Club's home ground.

===Renaming and QFA success===

In 1999, after moving the oval that was once the home of the former Coorparoo club, the club was renamed to "Coorparoo Football Club".

Since 2000, Coorparoo have won seven senior premierships, including a three-peat from 2011 until 2013. The club's reserves side has also appeared in grand finals in 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2016.
