Current season

The Cape Coral Hurricanes are an amateur soccer team based in Cape Coral, Florida, United States. Founded in 2010, the team plays in Champions Soccer League USA.

The team plays its home games at Cape Coral High School in Cape Coral, Florida. The team's primary colors are blue and white with black used as a highlight.

In June 2010, the Cape Coral Hurricanes started with a grass-roots effort to bring a professionally run, top-amateur soccer team to the city of Cape Coral, Florida. Following the success of their petition "Bring the Team", it was announced later that year that a professional soccer team was being brought to Southwest Florida.

The club announced their team on January 9, 2012 at Cape Coral City Hall in front of the Mayor, City Council, fans and media. They also announced their team logo and summer schedule at the press conference.

During the spring and summer of 2012, the Cape Coral Hurricanes successfully fielded a team of top local talent that played a full season of exhibition games. Cape Coral played seven home games and four vital away games, all against teams that played in the USL PDL. One of the most important games was when PDL side FC JAX Destroyers came play the Hurricanes in Cape Coral. These games gave us a tremendous amount of experience and truly indicated the strength of the team as a whole.

The team ended their inaugural exhibition season with a 4-3-2 record and averaged 239 people per game at their home games.

On November 2, 2012 the Cape Coral Hurricanes announced that they had joined the National Premier Soccer League. For the 2013 season, Cape Coral joined the NPSL as part of the Sunshine Conference with fellow expansion teams Miami United SC and Tampa Marauders FC as well as the veteran NPSL squads Georgia Revolution and Jacksonville United. The Hurricanes became the fourth team in the conference from the state of Florida. The conference was just one year removed from a 2011 NPSL championship with Jacksonville United.
