Onehunga Sports Football Club is a youth football club based in Onehunga, New Zealand. A senior side formerly competed in the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Premier, last appearing in the competition in 2019.

The club is widely regarded within New Zealand for their strong focus on youth development. In recent years, Onehunga Sports have most notably produced New Zealand internationals Chris Wood, Sarpreet Singh and Alex Paulsen, and former head coach Hiroshi Miyazawa.[1]

Club history[edit]

The club was founded in 1956 as Cornwall AFC, originally as a youth-oriented breakaway of Ellerslie AFC; Cornwall began play in the 1957 season, holding home games first at Auckland Domain until Fergusson Domain was made available in 1961. The club's change of name to Onehunga Sports and Soccer Club came in 1986, soon followed by the club's first promotion to the NRFL Premier in 1991.

As Onehunga gradually progressed, gaining promotion into higher divisions, tighter restrictions on the playing surface at Fergusson Domain were placed on the club. Relocation discussions began in 1995, and following the construction of clubrooms and training facilities the club moved to Waikakara Park for the 2004 season.[2]

In 2010, Onehunga Sports won the NRFL Division 1 title, winning promotion to the regional top flight.[3]

In 2017 and 2018, Onehunga Sports won consecutive NRFL Premier titles; 2017 also saw the team lift the Chatham Cup for the first time, defeating Central United in the final.[4]

In 2020, Onehunga Sports merged with Three Kings United to form Auckland United, which assumed Onehunga's position in the 2020 NRFL Premier season; the youth, women's and social sectors of Onehunga Sports remain in operation.[5][6]
