Club information

Edge Hill United FC was founded in 1967. [1]

In 2019 and 2020, both their men's and women's sides have been dominant teams in the community divisions of Far North Queensland winning back-to-back trebles. [2] [3]

In 2021, they qualified for the FFA Cup as a fifth tier side, after defeating second tier NPL Queensland side Magpies Crusaders United in the final round of qualifying by a score of 3–1, becoming the only community club to advance to the Final Rounds of the 2021 FFA Cup. [4] They were defeated 2–0 in the Round of 32 by second-tier NPL Queensland side Gold Coast Knights after allowing two late goals. [5]

In 2023, Edge Hill sacked head coach Chris O'Hare despite his team winning 20 of 21 league games, and lifting the League and Crad Evans Shield titles. Edge Hill United in 2024 qualified for the Champions League after the previous season's league title, and went on to lose to St George Willawong FC in 2024 without O'Hare under the guidance of player coach Ryan Murray. Finishing runner up auto qualified Edge Hill for the 2025 Champions League, which they then got beaten 6-1 by O'Hare's Marlin Coast team. Edge Hill United's Premier women's team went on to secure the treble once again in 2024 under 20 year club coach Dean Ashton making them the benchmark ladies team in the region.[ citation needed ]
