Present Day
During the 2010 season they played in the second division the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Division 1B.
In 2011, Birkenhead competed in the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Division 1 league and were favourites for promotion into the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Premier League. Enjoying much of the season placed first in the division, the team narrowly missed out on promotion with a final day loss to Eastern Suburbs AFC and eventually finished 3rd.
In 2012, the team once again is considered among the favourites for promotion and indeed the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Division 1 title. With a large part of the 2011 squad still available for selection, the coaching team has also expanded the squad by signing established, experienced NRFL players to the player pool. With a squad of considerable depth, Birkenhead consider their goals to be promotion to the Lotto Sport Italia NRFL Premier League for 2013 and a lengthy run in the Chatham Cup

“The Spacious Firmament on high,
With all the blue Ethereal Sky,
And spangled Heav’ns, a Shining Frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
Th’ unwearied Sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator’s Pow’r display,
And publishes to every Land
The Work of an Almighty Hand.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
