Island Bay United has a proud local history. Founded in 1931 as Wellington Technical College Old Boys, the club’s name was changed to Island Bay United AFC in 1966.

Our home ground Wakefield Park is one of the key hubs for football in the Wellington region. A typical weekend can see Wakefield Park host thousands of players and supporters in our clubrooms and grounds throughout the winter season.

We are the Island Bay Sharks. Our club’s crest proudly displays the shark and the green white and red flag at the bottom of the crest reflects the past and ongoing influence of descendants of the many Italian families who emigrated to Island Bay in the 1900’s.

We are one of the largest football clubs in Wellington. Island Bay United provides competitive and social football opportunities to almost 1000 players from First Kicks to juniors, youth, women, men and masters.

In 2024, Island Bay United fielded an impressive 79 teams across juniors, youth, girls only, womens, mens and masters grades.

We look forward to having you on our team!
