Mines Rovers Football Club is an Australian rules football team playing in the Goldfields Football League, a league based in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. Founded in 1898 as Mines Football Club, the club has enjoyed a long-standing involvement in the league. One of the first clubs to play Australian football formed within the region, and helped popularise the sport, and supplant Rugby in popularity. The GFL was known as the Goldfields Football Association (GFA) from 1901 to 1907 and 1920–25, and as the Goldfields National Football League (GNFL) from 1926 to 1987. Mines Rovers play home games at Digger Daws Oval, one they are co tenants with other GFL member, Boulder City Football Club. Mines Rovers currently hold the record for most premierships in the GFL with 43.
