The records include the South Australian league football (first known as the South Australian Football Association, then South Australian Football League, and later South Australian National Football League) from 1877, when the first premiership matches were held at the ground, until the end of the 1990 SANFL season, the last year that the competition was the highest level of Australian rules football in South Australia.

The first senior league Australian rules football match was played on Adelaide Oval in 1877 between the original Adelaide club and the Bankers club.

In 1991 the newly created Adelaide Crows entered the Australian Football League, subsequently playing the highest level of football in the state. Port Adelaide joined the Australian Football League in 1997.
