Team Taranaki was an amateur association football composite club based in the Taranaki region of New Zealand which drew its players from the 13 local football clubs. After winning promotion in 2016 [1] Team Taranaki contested the Central Premier League in 2017 then withdrew from the competition in 2018[2]
The core of the team was made up from local club based players and was supplemented with some overseas amateur players. The concept was contractually supported by all of the senior men’s clubs operating in the Taranaki Province and the selected players were drawn from these 13 member clubs. Originally adopted and introduced in 2003, the concept was aimed to provide elite football opportunities to all players who wanted to achieve and play the best possible standard without having to leave Taranaki.[3]
