Papatoetoe AFC is a semi-professional football club based in Papatoetoe, New Zealand. They currently compete in the Lotto NRFL Conference, however, have enjoyed successful spells at the top of the New Zealand game, namely in the former National League, and having won two Lotto NRFL Premier League crowns.
The club prides itself for being an inclusive family oriented club that values the diversity of their local community and its relationships with surrounding schools, and is committed to providing a player pathway from youth to first-team level.
Over the years it has forged one of the strongest records for success in South Auckland often with limited resources. Many of their youth players have represented New Zealand at age-group national team level and some have gone on to full All Whites senior national team representation, Ricki Herbert being one of their players.
History
Papatoetoe AFC was founded in 1959 through the efforts of Ken Hastings. the club entered the new Franklin & Districts competitions in 1960, competing from a site at the Papatoetoe Recreation Ground on Great South Road. In 1965 the club moved to its current home at Murdoch Park and the same year its senior team entered the Northern League. It gained promotion to the premier division in 1971, and it spent much of the next decade in either the lower reaches of the premier league or the upper part of the second flight.
Papatoetoe have reached the Quarter-finals of the Chatham Cup on three occasions, in 1984, 1985, and 1986, but have yet to progress beyond this stage of the competition.
