The Ongerup Football Association is an Australian rules football competition based in the Great Southern region of rural Western Australia. It was formed in 1962 with the current reserves competition inaugurated in 1980.

## History

The Association commenced in 1962 with just two clubs, Ongerup and Hassell. After two seasons, Borden and Pingrup joined, making four clubs. Hassell demerged in 1968 into Jerramungup and Boxwood Hills making five clubs.
Kent Districts joined in 1972 after leaving the Central Great Southern Football League and won the premiership the following year. Newdegate was next to join the Association when the ‘Lions’ entered in 1983. Gnowangerup then joined in 1987 after also leaving the CGSFL with the last team to join being Lake Grace with an immediate merger with Pingrup ending up in Lake Grace/Pingrup.
The 2010s was a tough decade for the OFA with Ongerup, Kent & Borden all folding taking it from an 8 to a 5 team competition.
