Established in 1948, Massey spent their first few years playing in the local Manawatū league and University tournaments before they had a more established presence from 1970 onwards.[1] Traditionally the club had been for students and ex-students from the local Massey University, but they do welcome players that aren't associated with the University now.[2]
The club's best performing team has been the women's team from 2012 to 2015, who played in the Women's Central League, winning the league three times in a row in 2012, 2013 and 2014.[3] As well as having the leagues top goalscorer with Emma Boyack winning the award in 2012 and 2013, then Jane Barnett winning in 2014,[4][5] they also competed in the national Women's Knockout Cup finishing runner's-up in 2012 to Three Kings United[6] and again in 2015 to Glenfield Rovers.[7][8]
