The team are regular entrants to the Chatham Cup, their best performance coming in 1995, when they reached the Fifth Round (last 16 stage).

The club moved to James Watson Park due to a promise made by the Manukau City Council to provide grounds solely for soccer use, so as to avoid any conflict with rugby league.

Although this is now changing with 50–60% of current registered players being of ethnic origin other than Fijian.

The South Auckland Rangers are presently located at their new premises, Rongomai Park (with seven fields) where they have been since in November 2014.

The new clubrooms at Rongomai will be shared with the Southern Braves Softball Club and will be jointly administered with them via a Trust.
