History

The club was formed in 1986 with the merger of Grassmere and Bushfield clubs. The merged club was known as Northern Districts and competed in the Warrnambool District Football League until it transferred to the stronger Hampden league in 1997. Northern Districts won the 1994 premiership in the Warrnambool DFL and was runners-up in 1992.

A move to the Hampden Football Netball League and a name change to North Warrnambool, the Eagles struggled for their first season, finishing last. Michael Kol was the first coach. The Eagles played in their first finals campaign since joining in 2011 in an Elimination Final against Terang Mortlake Football Club going down by only 2 points.

In 2012 the Eagles stock rose significantly finishing 3rd on the ladder overall and losing the Preliminary Final against Cobden Football Club by 52 points.
