History
The Club was founded in 1886, making it the oldest football club in New Zealand and Oceania. North Shore United was originally formed as North Shore in 1886 and in 1933 amalgamated with Belmont, taking the present name.
As the result of a sponsorship deal, the team were known from 1979 to 1985 as Hanimex United or, unofficially, as Hanimex North Shore United.
