Otago University AFC is a semi-professional association football club in Dunedin, New Zealand. They are competing in the ODT FootballSouth Premier League.
The club is affiliated with the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand. They are based at Logan Park in an area immediately beside the university campus, and play their home fixtures at the nearby Caledonian Ground. The club currently consists of five teams playing in the top five Footballsouth leagues. The men's first team also participates in the Chatham Cup, New Zealand's premier knockout tournament. As a member of Footballsouth, the club is also affiliated with Otago United of the ASB Premiership.
The club's most recent successes came in 2006 with the second team coached by Mark Schollum and James Coombes and the third team coached by Richard Wright winning their respective leagues. Most notable news of late includes the foreign acquisition and subsequent loss of starlet Michael Hurley and the leading tally in disciplinary points, by quite a wide margin, courtesy of Luuk Van den Bergh.
The club strip is baby blue with gold trim.
