The Moama Football Club, nicknamed the Magpies, is an Australian Rules Football club playing in the Murray Football League.

The club is based in the town of Moama located in the Riverina district of New South Wales.

Moama joined the Murray Football League in 1997.

Moama is home to a very talented pool of young players which includes future draft prospects in the form of Aidyn Johnson and Lachie Schultz. Moama is also home to other young players like Joel Murphy, Bailey Grubb, Mitch Eade, Logan Power and Jack Elliott. The coach Greg Elliott was responsible for the strong upbringing of a good young crop of players as coach of the under 14's side which has won the past three premierships in the Murray Football League. Local football legend Adrian Daly is the coach of the under 17 football side and has continued the success that was originally seeded by Greg Elliott. Several of his players have gone on to play for representative teams like the New South Wales Rams and Victoria Country and Metro. Many players have played senior footy under Daly's guidance.

Following a senior player exodus, Coach Simon Maddox was appointed at the beginning of 2012 to rebuild the senior ranks. He began by bringing in several local footballers. Since 2012 the rebuild has seen a slow buildup of success with the amount of wins increasing after each season. The season of 2014 sees Rhys Archard, Chris Casey, Ryan Hudson and Brett Nankervis join the Moama ranks and help to bolster the squad. The club expects the seniors to contest the finals and display an exciting brand of football that will hopefully lead to the ultimate success story for Maddox and his chargers.
