UNSW-Eastern Suburbs Bulldogs is an Australian rules football club competing in the Sydney AFL competition. They are based in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, and affiliated with the University of New South Wales.

History

The club formed in 1999 out of the merger of the Eastern Suburbs Australian Football Club with the University of New South Wales Australian National Football Club, but its origins are traced back to the East Sydney Australian Football Club in 1880.
