The Fitzroy Reds was an Australian rules football club based in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy.
The club was formed in 1954 as the University Reds (or simply Uni Reds), competing in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA).
In December 2008, the Reds merged with the Fitzroy Football Club, which is now officially known as "Fitzroy Football Club (incorporating the Fitzroy Reds)" and currently competes in the VAFA's Premier Division.[1][2]
