Lara Sporting Club plays in the AFL Barwon Football League in Victoria, Australia. They play their home games at Lara Recreation Reserve.
Lara is situated between Geelong and Werribee on the main Geelong rail line so over the years the club has played in competitions to the East and West of the town.
In 1975 the Football club and the cricket merged to form the Lara Sporting Club.
After winning two premierships in three years Lara opted to move into the GFL in 1989. In 2015 the League was absorbed into the AFL Barwon Football League.
