    • Bartercard Cup

    The Bears competed in the Bartercard Cup between 2000 and 2005.

    The Bears were probably the least successful of all the Auckland stand alone clubs in the competition, only making the play-offs in 2000 and never really posing a serious threat to the championship in their six-year Bartercard Cup history.

    They were the only Waitakere City team in the competition and were replaced by the Waitakere Rangers, a franchise that represented all five Waitakere clubs.
