Victoria University of Wellington Association Football Club
Victoria University of Wellington Association Football Club (VUWAFC) is an amateur football club based in Wellington, New Zealand.

The club is affiliated to the Capital Football Federation which is in turn affiliated with New Zealand Football. The Women's First Team competes in the W-League competition and the Men's First Team competes in the Capital Premier competition. VUWAFC was established in 1943 and now has 20 teams (4 women's and 16 men's) and over 300 registered members.
