History

Southern United, formerly Soccersouth until 2007, was founded in 2002, to represent the region for the New Zealand Women's National League from its inaugural season in 2002 onwards. Southern United, formerly Otago United until 2013, was founded in 2004 as a conglomerate of various Otago area clubs, in order to form a strong team to take part in the New Zealand Football Championship, run on a regional franchise basis, and Southern United became one of the eight competing teams. In 2021, the league was replaced by New Zealand National League for more of a club based competition, causing the Southern United Men's Team to dissolve.
