[1][2] Mbarara United were one of the 8 teams that participated in the inaugural season of the National First Division in 1968–69, the league being the forerunner of the Ugandan Super League.

Their last result in the league was a 7–1 win against Masaka Municipal Council FC.

As Mbarara is located near the south-western border of the country it is not surprising that naturalised Congolese players often dominated their first team.
