The Victoria Travellers Football Club was a Canadian football that played in the British Columbia Rugby Football Union and the Western Canada Rugby Football Union from 1926 to 1933.[1][2][3][4]

The team was sponsored by the Order of United Commercial Travelers, a service organization known for its good works, which had recently expanded into Canada.[5] The sponsorship ended in 1928 but the club continued on under another name.[6]

The Victoria Travellers Football Club won the first BCRFU championship, their only one in 8 seasons.
