The club competes in the Football Queensland Premier League 4 − South Coast, the second flight of the Football Queensland South Coast administrative division and the sixth flight of the Australian soccer league system.

The club's home ground is the Sid Bigg Park and since foundation in 1980, the club has been a regular competitor in the Gold Coast Premier League.

The club's senior men's team has won 1 First Division Premiership, 2 First Division Championships and 1 First Division President's Cup.

History

With the interest of developing junior sport, an inaugural meeting of the Mudgeeraba Sports Club was held on 22 May 1979. Mudgeeraba Sports Club acquired a lease of Sid Bigg Park, where the club was able to foster Tennis, Table tennis and Cricket for foundation members.

In 1979, following a successful fundraising dinner, soccer was introduced and the first junior games were played in 1980. In 1986 a clubhouse was built, allowing for senior soccer to commence in 1987.

The senior men's team statistics are only traceable to the 2003 season of the Gold Coast Premier League, a period which has seen three relegations to the second division of Football South Coast, and two returning promotions. Mudgeeraba Soccer Club has various appearances in first and second division finals series and Australia Cup preliminary appearances.

Seasons

Men's Senior Team

1987–2013: President's Cup and First Division success

According to the club, senior football began in 1987. Mudgeeraba Soccer Club's earliest mention in records was when the First Division's top goalscorer, D.Mann, recorded 24 goals for the club in the 1998 season. This is because league tables were only available from 2003 onwards. The Men's senior team won their first trophy that was administered by Football Gold Coast (today known as Football Queensland South Coast) in the 1999 season after they won the First Division's championship. Mudgeeraba Soccer Club won their first First Division's President's Cup the following season. Following a spell in the Gold Coast Premier League, the club was relegated in 2009, and in 2011 the club won both the first division premiership and championship to return to the Gold Coast Premier League with the club's first double. The President's Cup was discontinued in 2008.

Since 2014: Establishment of FFA Cup and Mediocrity

The FFA Cup's first season was held in 2014 (known as the Australia Cup since 2022), giving a chance for clubs of small stature to compete at a state and national level. Mudgeeraba Soccer Club's first and best performance came in the 2015 season reaching the fourth round after beating Coomera Colts and Murwillumbah. Their FFA Cup run would end following a 2–0 defeat to Broadbeach United.
