History
Hawke’s Bay United (HBU) was founded in 2005 under the name of Napier City Soccer, as the summer entity of Central League club Napier City Rovers. In the inaugural NZFC season (2004–05), they finished 5th out of 8. The following season, Napier City Soccer was renamed to their current moniker of "Hawke's Bay United" and changed their kit colour to the Hawke's Bay provincial sporting colours of white and black, as part of an effort to greater represent the greater East Coast instead of just the city of Napier. The rebranded Hawkes Bay United finished last in the season standings.
Hawkes Bay United se nikdy nestal mistrem Nového Zélandu, ale v roce 2009 vyhrál Chatham Cup, nejstarší národní fotbalový pohár na světě. V ISPS Handa Premiership se týmu nejlépe dařilo v sezónách 2013/14 a 2014/15, kdy skončil na 3. místě.
Mezi nejznámější hráče, kteří hráli za Hawkes Bay United, patří bývalý novozélandský reprezentant Glen Moss a současný reprezentant Joel Stevens.
