History

[edit]

In 2019, the club managed to finish in their highest ever position in the Sunshine Conference, finishing in 2nd place and qualifying for the Sunshine Conference Playoffs.[4] However, during the playoffs, the club was defeated in the first round by Miami United FC.[5] Despite the defeat, Naples United FC's results in 2019 allowed them to qualify for the 2020 U.S. Open Cup, the top domestic cup competition in American soccer.[6]
