Edge Hill United FC was founded in 1967.[1]

In 2019 and 2020, both their men's and women's sides have been dominant teams in the community divisions of Far North Queensland winning back-to-back trebles.[2][3]

In 2021, they qualified for the FFA Cup as a fifth tier side, after defeating second tier NPL Queensland side Magpies Crusaders United in the final round of qualifying by a score of 3–1, becoming the only community club to advance to the Final Rounds of the 2021 FFA Cup.[4] They were defeated 2–0 in the Round of 32 by second-tier NPL Queensland side Gold Coast Knights after allowing two late goals.[5]
