=== Adelaide University Football Club === {{main|Adelaide University Football Club}}

The Adelaide University Football Club was officially formed on 26 March 1906 and became affiliated with the Sports Association two weeks later on 9 April 1906. Prior to this time, there was no University [[Australian rules football|Football]] team competing in a regular competition; however games were arranged on an irregular basis.

The earliest reference to football at University was found in a PAC School Chronicle of 1885. The report stated that Adelaide University could not organise a full side for a Saturday game; however there were enough available for a mid-week game. This was arranged for Wednesday 19 June 1885 and several League players and old scholars from PAC comprised the side. University lost this encounter 4.11 to 1.1.

The Blacks were successful in winning the A Grade Premiership in the years 1911–12, 1920–22, 1926, 1929, 1932, 1951–52, 1954–55, 1960–62, 1965, 1968–69, 1974–75, 1986, 1996, and 1999. In 2006 the Blacks were runners-up to Goodwood Saints 10.12 '''72''' – 18.11 '''119'''.

=== Adelaide University Touch Club === Touch Football is a game derived from rugby league, where tackling and kicking are outlawed. The Adelaide University Touch Club was formed in 1983 and joined the Sports Association in 1985. It is the largest touch football club in South Australia. The club has players ranging from complete beginners to players who have represented Australia and England at international tournaments. The club enters teams in the local park touch competition in both single sex grades and mixed grades in both summer and winter competitions. During summer the club runs a mixed competition at the Waite Campus of the University.

===Adelaide University Athletics Club=== Established in 1906, the Athletics Club has a participatory focus and competes in events such as the City-Bay Fun Run.

== Intercollegiate Sport – High Table Cup ==

There have been two cups awarded for the Intercollegiate Sport championship between Adelaide University Colleges, both with the generic title of ''High Table Cup''. The ''College Cup'' was donated by the [[Senior Common Room|High Table]] of [[St. Mark's College (University of Adelaide)|St. Mark's College]] in the 1950s, and remained in use until 1995 when the ''Douglas Irving Cup'' was donated. Current participants are the College Clubs of [[Aquinas College, Adelaide|Aquinas College]], [[Flinders University Hall]], [[Lincoln College (University of Adelaide)|Lincoln College]], [[St. Ann's College]] and [[St. Mark's College (University of Adelaide)|St Mark's College]].
