Club History
The club was formed in 1968 as Ngaruawahia United, made up primarily of the teenagers attending Ngaruawahia High School. Following the amalgamation of Ngaruawahia United and Affco Rangers in 1977 the club became known as Ngaruawahia-Affco United. Several years later the name Affco was dropped from the title.
The Ngaruawahia club website is gradually accumulating what will be an exhaustive record of the club's history, from its roots in 1921 and its re-emergence in 1968. Material from media records, administrative papers, photographs and tables are being added, and are immediately available on the site under the "About us" menu.
