Union High School now competes in the Union County Interscholastic Athletic Conference, following a reorganization of sports leagues in Northern New Jersey by the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. Prior to the 2010 realignment, the school had participated in the Watchung Conference, a high school sports association which consisted of public high schools covering Essex County, Hudson County and Union County.
The football team won the North II Group IV state sectional championships in 1978-79, 1982, 1984–87 and 1991-93.
On May 2, 2008, Union High School's Armed Drill Team took first place at The Nationals in the challenger level.
