Ringwood City Soccer Club is an Australian soccer club from Ringwood, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria. The club was formed in 1953, as Wilhelmina by Dutch Australians. It took the club only 4 years to get promoted into the Victorian State League. In 1966 they were relegated, but the following year they were again promoted as Ringwood Wilhelmina. After many more years of an up-and-down State League campaign, they were relegated to Victorian State League Division 1 in 1990. This started the club's demise. After years of competition, the club found themselves relegated 7 times, and found themselves in the lowest men's Victorian league, Metropolitan League S/E. Theclub currently competes in Victorian State League Division 5 East.[1][2]

In 2009 Ringwood City defeated St. Kevins Old Boys 3-0 in the final round of the 2009 FFV Metropolitan South East division to gain their first championship in 12 years.
