Canterbury United Dragons was a semi-professional football club from Christchurch, New Zealand. The team plays most of its matches at English Park in Christchurch, though they occasionally play in Nelson. The club last played in the ISPS Handa Premiership, the now folded top level of football in New Zealand.
History
The club was founded in 2002 as a conglomerate of various Christchurch area clubs, in order to form a strong team to take part in the 2002 New Zealand National Soccer League. In 2004, the league was replaced by the New Zealand Football Championship, run on a regional franchise basis, and Canterbury United became one of the eight competing teams.
In Canterbury United's first season in the New Zealand Football Championship they missed out on the playoffs by four competition points, ultimately finishing fourth. In 2007, the club rebranded themselves as the "Canterbury United Dragons" with a new logo and mascot.
Clubul a fost fondat în 2004 și a câștigat Campionatul Noii Zeelandei de două ori, în 2007 și 2011. Canterbury United a mai câștigat și Cupa Chatham de trei ori, în 2005, 2011 și 2019.
Echipa își joacă meciurile de pe teren propriu pe Stadionul English Park din Christchurch.
Culorile tradiționale ale lui Canterbury United sunt roșu și negru.
