The Adelaide University Lacrosse Club (AULC) is an Australian-based lacrosse club founded in 1889 by Nobel Prize winning Professor William Henry Bragg.[1] It is one of the oldest lacrosse clubs in Australia and is a founding member of the Adelaide University Sports Association.[2] The AULC takes part in an annual competition against the Melbourne University Lacrosse Club that was first contested in 1905[3] and competes locally in the Lacrosse South Australia competition.[1] Club membership is focused on University of Adelaide students and graduates. Other non-students are also members. The AULC trains on the University of Adelaide's Park 10 sports fields in the park lands between the University campus and North Adelaide.
Seven Rhodes Scholars have been members of AULC:
An Adelaide University Blue is awarded for excellence in a particular sport. The awarding of a Blue is usually for competing in a state or national team. The AULC has 134 full Blues awarded to members since 1908. Many more half blues and club letters have also been awarded.[11]
The AULC has won 11 men's and 1 women's A grade premierships since 1890.
