Since 1974
The club.
Founded in 1974, we're proud of the legacy behind us and excited for what lies ahead.
How it started
Six people and a school oval.
The club was formed in 1974 as the Currumbin Football Club by John and Mervin Hall, Beth Hall, Elaine Markwell, and John and Kay Turner. John Hall was the first President, Beth Hall the Secretary and Elaine Markwell the Treasurer.
With no Gold Coast competition to join, the club played in the Tweed Group 18 league from the Currumbin primary school ground. The first jumpers were a gift from the Redcliffe Dolphins.
The move to Galleon Way came in 1986. In 2011 the club returned to its heritage as the Currumbin Eagles, and today it fields around 50 teams and 800 players from Under 6 to A Grade.
