Club history

Chart of yearly ladder positions for Mount Wellington in NZ 1st division soccer

During much of the 1970s and 1980s, Mt Wellington AFC was a strong club side, rivalled only by Christchurch United.^{[citation needed]} The team won the Chatham Cup on five occasions, in 1973, 1980, 1982, 1983, and 1990. Since amalgamation, the cup has been won a further two times, in 2001 and 2003, making the club one of only two seven-time winners (together with Christchurch United) of the country's main knockout tournament. They also won the country's national league in 1972, 1974, 1980, 1982, and 1986.
