[edit] History
Waitakere United was formed as a special franchise club in 2004 to play in the NZFC, New Zealand's top domestic football competition. The team represents 12 member clubs from Mt Albert to the Kaipara.
In the inaugural season (2004/2005) of the NZFC, Waitakere United finished runners-up to champions Auckland City FC but they followed up with a very disappointing 6th place in the next season.
