The most recent provincial OUA Championships with the most recent one in 2010 was the Argo Cup in the Red and Blue Bowl in 2013. The founding of this organized team can be traced to an Association Football Committee meeting on Tuesday, March 11, 1884, at 5 PM. The Varsity mentions that, as early as 1880, the University College Associated Football Club competed against the Knox College, Collegiate Institute, and Medical School club teams. By the following year, the team was practicing regularly and travelling as far as Berlin (Kitchener, ON) for a tournament.
