History
An earlier association football club at Eltham was formed in a meeting at the Eltham Fire Brigade station in April 1906, with 20 members registered and Mr. W. H. Hutchinson appointed secretary. Eltham along with Kaponga and Hāwera were affiliated to the Taranaki Association Football Union in May 1906. The club won its first and only Taranaki Championship in 1906, beating New Plymouth in the final held at Inglewood.
The Taumata Park grandstand overlooking the club's home ground is Eltham’s Second World War memorial. It was opened on 10 August 1957.
