Club history
Tauranga City AFC was formed in 1967. In 2000 it changed its name to Tauranga City United when it was relocated by the Tauranga City Council to the former Mt Maunganui AFC ground at Links Avenue, Mt Maunganui.
In late 2017 the club merged with local junior side 'Mount Maunganui Juniors' and expanded its pathway to include mini kickers (4 years old) all the way to senior men's and women's football. Along with the merger the club also announced a new badge and a colour change from royal blue to sky blue.[1]
Tauranga City's best Chatham Cup season was in 2002, when they reached the final, only to be defeated by Napier City Rovers 2–0.
Tauranga City United played in the New Zealand National Soccer League from 2000 to 2003.
