Club history

The club was founded as King Edward Technical College Old Boys in 1920, and changed their name to Dunedin Technical in 1980. They and are based at Culling Park, in the suburb of Saint Kilda.

The club has regularly reached the later stages of the Chatham Cup (New Zealand's premier knockout football competition), and have reached the final on four occasions, in each of which they have met a team from Auckland. Their sole win was in 1999, when they beat Waitakere City 4–0. They were losing finalists in 1964 (under their former name), 1998, and 2008.

Their respective women's team have won the Kingsgate Women's Premier League for the 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 seasons, also reaching the quarter finals of the National Women's Knockout Cup on two occasions, semi finals in 2017, and winning the Kate Sheppard Cup (previously known as Knockout Cup) against Forrest Hill Milford in 2018.

Dunedin Technical's best season in the New Zealand National Soccer League was in 2000, when they finished third. The previous year they had reached the final of the national league competition, which at that time was run as separate North and South Island leagues, followed by a final between the winners of these two leagues.

Prior to the creation of a national league in 1970, King Edward Technical College Old Boys were Otago regional champions in 1934, 1955, 1957, and 1963.[1]
