Boroondara was formed as the Star of Camberwell Football Club around 1890.[3] The club changed its name to Boroondara on 24 June 1891.[4]
In 1897, the club joined the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA) after absorbing Camberwell Juniors.[3] The club withdrew late in the season and appears to have gone into recess.[5][6][7]
Boroondara returned to the MJFA for the 1903 season and remained in the competition in 1904.[8][9][10]
Following the end of the 1904 season, Booroondara merged with fellow MJFA club Hawthorn at the MJFA annual meeting on 30 April 1905.[11] Hawthorn retained its own name, but adopted Boroondara's colours of a black guernsey with a red sash.[12]
