On 7 November 2014, it was confirmed that Melbourne City would compete in the NPL Victoria 1 competition from the 2015 season onwards. The team consists mainly of Melbourne City's youth team, which also competes in the National Youth League.[1] On top of this, Melbourne City opted to send an U-20 team to enter the concurrently-run development-level U-20 NPL league competition.[2]
After several seasons competing in the NPL, Melbourne City announced they were expanding their participation to also enter teams into the U-18 and U-15 competitions, with the U-18 side notably being managed by former manager John van 't Schip's brother Davey.[3]
