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.

In 2023, Edge Hill sacked head coach Chris O'Hare despite his team winning 20 league games out of a possible 21 games, and lifting the League and Crad Evans Shield titles – his 11th and 12th trophies for the club in just 5 seasons. O'Hare went on to win the Treble at new club Marlin Coast Rangers in 2024. Edge Hill United failed to win a trophy in 2024.
