Christchurch United is a proud Christchurch Football Club with a strong and successful history. It was one of the founding clubs of the New Zealand National Soccer League in 1970. Over the years the club’s successes have included Winning Six National League Titles and Six Chatham Cups, including the two famous doubles in 1975 and in 1991. The club produced a number of great players who have competed internationally, such as:
The legendary All Whites who competed at the 1982 World Cup in Spain; Steve Sumner, Grant Turner, Bobby Almond, Steve Woodin, and Frank van Hattum. These players all wore the blue and white of United in the prime of their careers.
All Whites captain Ryan Nelson and All Whites player Ben Sigmund, who were part of the unbeaten New Zealand team at the 2010 World Cup.

In 2016 Christchurch United cemented the future of the Club after merging with rapidly grown Christchurch Football Academy (CFA) who were based at new state-of-art Football Centre. Both Academy and Football Centre were founded by a visionary football enthusiast Slava Meyn who has a dream of developing a great football club in Christchurch.

Together we share a strong vision and passion for the Club and Academy future development.

The juniors and youth academy teams showcased the innovative CUFC playing style throughout all the Mainland Football premier Grades.

The Club has a first team competing in Mainland Football Premier Divison aiming to reach a status of National League Club near future.
