History

From 2010–2013 a Wellington Phoenix reserve side took part in the ASB Phoenix Challenge against ASB Premiership sides, however these games were separate to the main competition.

On 22 August 2014 it was announced that A-League side, Wellington Phoenix, had been granted permission to play a reserve side in the 2014–15 ASB Premiership, the top division for football in New Zealand. The team made their debut in the competition on 1 November 2014 against Team Wellington. Tyler Boyd scored the first goal in Phoenix Reserves history but that could not prevent them losing 1–2.

On 2 October 2015 Wellington Phoenix named a Youth Squad to take part in the ASB Youth League.
