During it's 72 years of existence Eastern Suburbs has won every honour available to a club in New Zealand soccer. Titles include:

Chatham Cup: 1951, 53, 65, 68 & 69

Rothmans National League: 1971

Northern League Champions: 1965 & 66

Auckland FA Champions: 1948, 50, 51, 52, 53, 57 & 62

While these victories have brought great prestige and publicity to the club, it views its greatest success as having provided a recreational and sporting environment for thousands of youngsters and their families in and around the Eastern Suburbs of Auckland. It has been able to do this because successive club committees have pledged their commitment to fostering the development of junior and teenage soccer.

The club's catchment area extends from Parnell, Newmarket and Remuera in the West through Meadowbank, Mission Bay, Kohimaramara, St Heliers, Glendowie, Glen Innes and into Panmure .

The club administration staff consists of 2 part-time emplyees who report to the club executive and are based at the Madills Farm clubrooms. Activities are organised and operated largely by enthusiasts providing their time, experience and effort on a voluntary basis and we therefore continually look for the members support. Structurally the club is run by an Executive Committee and three sub committees namely, Seniors (18 years and above) , Youth (10-17 year olds) and Juniors (5-9 year olds). fb start Northern League (soccer) fb end
