History

Killarney District SC was founded in 1972. The club first won silverware in 1999, winning the Association Cup, and in 2003 winning the League Grand Final.

The clubs main success has come in recent years however with 6 straight League Championships from 2016 to 2022 and 4 straight Grand Final Premierships from 2016 to 2019, both Central Coast Premier League records. It also achieved a treble in 2016.

In 2022, Killarney broke history in the Premier League by completing the regular season with 18 wins out of 18, becoming the first club on the Central Coast to achieve this.[1]

The club has also participated in the Australia Cup qualifying rounds 4 times and are somewhat of a giant killer, defeating NSW NPL outfits on several occasions, namely Stanmore Hawks and Mt Druitt Town Rangers in the 2016 competition and Blacktown Spartans in the 2017 competition. Killarney is the only club from Central Coast Football to have made the sixth preliminary round in the cup, just two wins away from the national rounds.
