Waitakere City F.C. is a New Zealand football (soccer) club. They currently compete in the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Premier.
It was formed in 1989 with the purpose of representing West Auckland in the National Soccer League.
At first the club was located in Western Springs, but following a merger with Massey AFC in 1991, it moved to its current location, at Fred Taylor Park in Whenuapai, Waitakere.
Waitakere City F.C. quickly established itself as one of New Zealand's top clubs, winning the national championship on five occasions (1990, 1992, 1995, 1996 and 1997) and finishing as the runner-up once (1993).
They also have three Chatham Cup wins to their name (1994, 1995 and 1996) and they finished as runners-up three times (1999, 2004 and 2013).
