The club entered the North Caledonian Football League in the 2006–07 season and originally played their games at Ferry Brae Park in North Kessock and won their first trophy when they beat Golspie Sutherland in the Jock Mackay Memorial Cup. They also won the Football Times Cup when again they triumphed over Golspie 3–2. In Season 2007–08 they again got through to the Jock Mackay Memorial Cup Final but were beaten this time on penalties by Golspie Sutherland.
For Season 2008–09 Inverness City successfully applied to the Scottish Junior Football Association for membership and will compete in the North Region Division 2. They finally moved into Inverness where their home games will be played at the Northern Meeting Park, They are thus also eligible to play in the Scottish Junior Cup. The Meeting Park venue has been the cause of some controversy due to its use by a cricket side during the summer months.
In their inaugural season, Inverness City won the Scotscoup Division 2 Junior League and the Elginshire Cup where they defeated Bishopmill 3–0 in the final to complete a historic double.
For the past three seasons, City have qualified for promotion to the North Superleague but have been denied entry, owing to the club not having access to the Northern Meeting Park for the full duration of the playing season. The club are currently trying to secure a playing facility at The Bught in Inverness that will enable the club to obtain promotion.
