The club was formed in 1883 and played against other social clubs and also between Balgownie teams. In 1890, Balgownie Rangers Soccer Football Club was officially registered to play in the newly formed N.S.W. Football Association.The club is full of tradition and has produced many famous soccer players over the years.
