The first Fitzroy side was formed in 1864, but multiple teams used the name before the club that played in the VFA and VFL was formed in 1883.

Melbourne and Fitzroy had a fierce rivalry in the 1890s, both before and after the founding of the VFL, with many of the matches between the sides being ill-tempered or violent afffairs.

In Round 17, 1979 the Lions registered the largest victory in VFL/AFL history when they defeated Melbourne by 190 points at Waverley.

Fitzroy merged with Brisbane Bears after the 1996 season to become Brisbane Lions
