Tuggeranong United Football Club is a football (soccer) club based in the Tuggeranong district of Canberra, Australia. The club currently competes in ACT amateur competitions including the ACT Premier League.
The club was formed in 1986 as a merger between two clubs from the Tuggeranong district - Kambah United Soccer Club (formed in 1977) and Tuggeranong Soccer Club (formed in 1978 as Wanniassa SC). As Tuggeranong United Soccer Club a more coordinated approach was provided for the sport at junior and senior level in the developing district. At first team level, the club won Federation Cup titles in 1989, 1993, 1994 and Premierships in 1991 and 1992.
In 1999 the club recovered some key players and won the Grand Final in what was then called the State League 1. The win enabled the club to be promoted back into the Premier League. In 2000 the club came runners up in the Federation Cup Grand Final.
In the subsequent 4 years the club maintained a good player base and made the top 4 twice. In 2005 the club lost momentum and came bottom of the Premier League and were relegated into Division 1. In 2006 the club again picked up and moved forward, attracting a new coach a several players. They progressed to the Grand Final of the Division 1, however were beaten in extra-time.
