The club was founded in 1953 and was promoted to the top division of the State of Western Australia in 1959. For the 1978 season, the club was renamed Olympic Kingsway. They won both the 1978 and 1980 Western Australian State League titles, which qualified them for the 1979 and 1981 NSL Cups. During this period, they also won the Top 4 Cup three times in succession (1978–1980).[1]

They moved back to the Amateur Premier Division for six seasons (2006–2011).

Since the 1990s, Olympic Kingsway has developed many future Australian professional football players, including Nick Ward, Stan Lazaridis, Richard Garcia and Daniel De Silva.
