The club had a total of 33 teams in 2019 including five senior teams, 28 junior teams and an Auskick program, with over 800 players. The Rovers last won consecutive senior Premierships in 2013 and 2014, gaining promotion to Premier B Section for the 2015 VAFA season, however has since been relegated and will compete in Premier C in 2020.

Senior Premierships - 1939 (D), 1946 (C), 1947 (B), 1951 (A), 1995 (D), 1998 (C), 2001 (C), 2013 (D1), 2014 (C).

Hampton Rovers began as an organised activity for the 1st Hampton Scout group in 1918. The Scout Group's main aim was to promote football as a team game and encourage self-confidence, self-control and the desire of a player to improve his ability.

Initially, games were played socially against other Scout Groups, but as the incentive to play in a higher standard became apparent, another competition was sought.

In 1931, Hampton Rovers was admitted to the Metropolitan Football League and played Richmond United at Burnley in its first game.

In 1933 the club joined the Victorian Amateur Football Association and changed the colours to the current Green & Gold.

The club has won a total of 9 senior premierships including an A Section flag in 1951. Added to this are 9 reserve and 9 under 19 premierships.
