History

From 2010 to 2013, a Wellington Phoenix reserve side took part in the ASB Phoenix Challenge competition against ASB Premiership sides, however these games were separate to the main competition.

On 22 August 2014 it was announced that the club had been granted permission to field a reserve side in the 2014–15 ASB Premiership, the highest level of football in New Zealand. The team made their debut in the competition on 1 November 2014 against Team Wellington. Tyler Boyd scored the first goal in the reserves' history, but that could not prevent them losing 1–2.

On 2 October 2015, Wellington Phoenix named a youth squad to take part in the ASB Youth League.

With the restructuring and creation of a new National League made by New Zealand Football for the 2021 season, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Phoenix and Lower Hutt City which saw the team play under in the Central League under the Lower Hutt banner. This meant Lower Hutt could not qualify for the Championship phase even if they finish in the top three of the Central League as Wellington Phoenix would then play that part of the competition.

This changed again for the 2022 season, with the Phoenix allowed to again play in the national league under their own name and colours.

The Wellington Phoenix Reserves are the developmental squad associated with the Wellington Phoenix, New Zealand's premier professional soccer team. Based in Wellington, the Reserves play a crucial role in nurturing young talent and providing a pathway for aspiring players to progress to the first team. Competing in the New Zealand National League, the Reserves focus on developing skills, teamwork, and tactical understanding, while also emphasizing the importance of sportsmanship and community engagement.

The team is known for its commitment to fostering local talent, often featuring a mix of promising youth players and experienced individuals looking to regain form or transition into coaching roles. Matches are held at various venues across the Wellington region, creating a vibrant atmosphere for fans and families to support the next generation of soccer stars. With a strong emphasis on player development, the Wellington Phoenix Reserves embody the spirit of the Phoenix brand, aiming to inspire and elevate the future of soccer in New Zealand.
