The Ultima Football Club, nicknamed the Storm, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the town of Ultima, Victoria. The football team currently competes in the Central Murray Football Netball League (CMFNL).
The club was founded in 1905 and has competed in several local competitions, such as the Quambatook, Mid Murray, Tyrrell, Kerang and District, and Golden Rivers Football Netball League (GRFNL).
Since joining the KDFL/GRFNL in 1979, Ultima has enjoyed ongoing success, including the most senior premierships during this time and back-to-back Tim Brockwell Champion Club Awards. The club success were also recognised when they were ranked 46th in the Herald Sun's Top 50 Country Teams in Victoria.
In 2024, the club undertook a strategic review to ensure a strong future for generations to come. This process led to an application to join the Central Murray Football Netball League (CMFNL). In August 2025, the Central Rivers Board and AFL Central Victoria approved the club's transfer, with the Ultima Football Netball Club set to compete in the Central Murray Football Netball League from the 2026 season.
As part of this transition, the club adopted new colours and a new identity. Following a formal vote by members, at the end of the 2025 season the club farewelled the Roos and the GRFNL and proudly emerged ready to compete in the CMFNL as the Ultima Storm.[1]
