Wynnum Vikings AFC has a successful competitive history. The Seniors team won premierships in 1974, 2003, 2008, and 2009, with additional runner-up positions in other years. The Reserves team secured a premiership in 1998 and were runners-up in 2019, while youth teams have also achieved notable success.

Despite challenges, the future appears promising with rising participation rates. Historical records reveal that the club originally played in blue, red, and white colours as the 'Tricolours,' winning premierships in 1909 and 1920. Over time, the colours evolved to dark blue/light blue with some yellow elements, with the current combination established since 2012.

Club History

Early documentation shows that games commenced in 1905. Known initially as the 'Tricolours', Wynnum competed in blue, red, and white colours. The club won premierships in 1909 and 1920 but did not participate in the 1912, 1922, and 1924 seasons. The club was formally established in 1966. The adoption of dark blue/light blue colours is undated, but yellow was subsequently incorporated into the uniform. Jerseys with a noticeable yellow element were worn for several years, culminating in a predominantly yellow youth jersey in 2011. The current dark and light blue combination has been in use since 2012.
