The South Bendigo Football Netball Club, nicknamed the Bloods, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the city of Bendigo, Victoria.
The club teams currently compete in the Bendigo Football Netball League.
South Bendigo was established in 1893 and actually played as the Golden Square Imperials Football Club in the Bendigo Junior Football Association in 1892 prior to joining the Bendigo Football Association in 1893.
South Bendigo left the Bendigo Football Association in 1906 after a dispute over the gate takings in the 1905 Bendigo FA grand final. As a result, both South Bendigo and California Gully were suspended and they formed the Bendigo and Northern Football Association in 1906. Long Gully defeated South Bendigo by one point in the 1906 Bendigo and Northern Football Association grand final.
Since South Bendigo entered the league in 1893, no club has won more premierships. They sit third on the all-time list of BFL premierships, behind Eaglehawk and Sandhurst.
In 2023, having played for over 120 years at the Queen Elizabeth Oval, they made the move to the Harry Trott Park, which is now their permanent home ground.
