History

After many years of competing in underage sides only, in 1979 the club fielded a side in the open-age competition for the first time.

2003 - North Sunshine FC won the Div 2 grand final elevating it to Div 1.

The club broke a 73-game losing streak in 2013.

With a new coach in 2014 and many new players the club got itself off the bottom of the ladder for the first time in 6 years. Playing in the newly formed 3rd Division it beat Tarneit FC to take it off the bottom and played competitive, hard football against many of the other Div 3 teams.

At the end of the 2014 season 7 new members joined the committee to give it a full complement of 10.
