In addition to the domestic league, the club will participate in the Chatham Cup for the 6th time and the OFC Men's Champions League for the 21st time. This is the first season they will not qualify for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, due to the team who represents Oceania in the tournament being changed from the OFC Men's Champions League winners to the OFC Professional League winners.
