The Myers Riders Football Club was established in 1974 as a result of the merger of two other organizations; namely, the Queensway Titans and the South West Vikings. The newly formed Riders adopted the colours of their namesakes, the Ottawa Rough Riders: black, red and white. Over the years, the Myers Riders have acquired a healthy reputation of providing a first-rate program for young people who wish to play the game for recreational purposes, as well as those individuals who might aspire to the Junior, University or Professional level.

The Myers Riders are a member club of the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA), the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL), and are affiliated with the Ottawa Junior Riders of the Quebec Junior Football League (QJFL).
