Formed 1984.
Penrith City were formed in 1984 specifically to compete in the National Soccer League and had the backing of the Penrith Panthers Leagues Club. They competed in the NSL for only two seasons between 1984 and 1985.
The club's first season was moderately successful, with the team finishing in 7th place despite the squad being largely made up of unfancied players, as well as reaching the quarter finals of the NSL Cup. The club's second season in the NSL was less successful. It was knocked out in the first round of the Cup, and finished the 1985 league season in 2nd last place, resulting in relegation to the New South Wales State League, where they played one further season until being taken over by a Uruguayan consortium and being renamed Penrith Uruguayan. This last incarnation lasted until 1989, when the team became defunct.
