Cranbourne Football Club dates back at least as long ago as the 1890s and was a founder member in 1910 of the Berwick District Football Association. With the exception of wartime interludes the club competed in the BDFA until 1953, although the competition underwent a name change in 1933 to the Dandenong District Football Association. The 1954 season saw Cranbourne lining up as an inaugural member of the South West Gippsland Football League in which it struggled initially but ultimately went on to enjoy considerable success. The Eagles claimed their first senior grade SWGFL flag in 1966, but it was during the 1980s that they really emerged as a force. Between 1985 and 1993 the side was a perennial finalist, and emerged victorious from no fewer than seven grand finals.

In 1995 the SWGFL was absorbed into the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League and Cranbourne achieved immediate success by defeating Karingal by 8 points in that season’s Northern Division grand final. There have been no further grand final appearances since 1995, however, and in recent seasons the side has consistently finished in the lower half of the premiership ladder.
