FORMED 1964
as Tauranga City. Changed name to Tauranga City United in 2000 as
a gesture of goodwill to disenfranchised Mt. Maunganui supporters,
after that club folded and the local council prompted a relocation of
Tauranga's home ground from Wharepai Domain to Links Avenue, Mt.
Maunganui's former home ground. United dropped from the name in 2018
