In May 2016, Andrew Crowe, the owner of

Zdenko Jurcevic.[6]

Hamilton City made its league debut on May 27, 2016 against

CSL Championship final after a 4-1 victory in a penalty shootout.[9] Their opponents in the final were the Serbian White Eagles, where Domagoj Zubac recorded the first goal with Serbia tying the match later and scoring the final goal at the last minutes of the match to win the championship.[10][11] On February 20, 2017 it was announced that the owners of Hamilton SC decided not to field a team for the 2017 season.[12]

After a one-year hiatus, Hamilton returned for the 2018 season.[13] After a third place finish during the 2020 season, they were disqualified from the playoffs for being "Not-in-Good Standing" at the conclusion of the season.[14]

Ahead of the 2021 season, they merged with

BGH City FC.[15]
