The Mighty Blues can look back proudly over a history of more than a hundred years during which they have competed with success in several different competitions. They were especially successful during the 1950s and '60s, contesting half a dozen grand finals in both decades for a total of eight premierships. The 1970s spawned another couple of flags, while the early 1980s produced four successive grand final appearances for three losses and a win.
Nirranda's involvement in the Warrnambool and District Football League dates back to 1992. After a mediocre debut season, the Blues reached the 1993 grand final, but lost to South Rovers by 30 points. They remained competitive for most of the remainder of a decade that was highlighted by the winning of a first, and so far only, senior WADFL premiership in 1999. Opposed in the grand final by Russell's Creek, Nirranda emerged victorious by 32 points, a comfortable enough margin given that only 15 goals were scored in the match.
