To form a soccer club in Takapuna, a suburb in Auckland, New Zealand. Their vision was to create a club that would provide opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels to enjoy and participate in the sport of football. Thus, Takapuna Football Club Inc. was born in 1964.

One of the highlights of Takapuna FC is its strong emphasis on youth development. The club understands that young players are the future of the sport, and therefore, places great importance on nurturing their skills and passion for the game. This commitment to youth development is exemplified by the appointment of Daniel Semp as the Head Coach of the men's first team. Daniel, who has been with the club since 2021, has made significant contributions to the club's youth development programme.
