The club teams currently compete in the Goulburn Valley League,[2] which Mooroopna is a founding member. The club has competed there during most of its career, leaving only after the end of World War II to play in the Central Goulburn Valley Football League (during which Mooroopna won the 1946 premiership).

In 1949 Mooroopna returned to the GVFL,[3] where has played up to present days.

Mooroopna has had one AFL player pass through it's ranks, and that is Laitham Vandermeer.
