The side was founded in late 2018 to act as a flagship team for the National Capital District of Port Moresby, and is backed by NCD governor Powes Parkop.[2] Under coach Francis Moyap,[3] the side entered the 2019 Papua New Guinea National Soccer League as one of eight teams in the Southern Conference.[4]
The side won their opening fixture against NSL veterans Eastern Stars, securing a 2–1 victory thanks to goals from Iamo Maneke and Chris David.[5] The side continued to play well, winning five of their seven fixtures in the first half of the regular season, losing only once, to eight-time champions Hekari United 1–0.[6] They went into the halfway stage in second place, six points clear of Gulf Komara in third.[1]
Their form began to stutter into the second half of the regular season, starting with a 3–0 defeat against a much-improved Eastern Stars.[7] More dropped points followed, with a draw against Southern Strikers and a damaging defeat against playoff rivals FC Bougainville saw their playoff cushion cut to three points with three matches remaining.[1] Their form continued to trail off, but the side was still able to qualify with a win on the final day against 7th-placed Star Mountain.[8] However, a late goal from Mountain denied them a place in the playoffs.[1]
