Parramatta FC, officially PCYC Parramatta FC but known commonly as Parramatta Melita Eagles, are an Australian football (soccer) club established by Maltese migrants in 1956 that played several seasons in the National Soccer League winning the NSL Cup twice in 1990/1991 and 1993/1994 and later the New South Wales Premier League which the club has won in various forms on six occasions 1985, 1988, 1989, 1996, 1997, 2001/2002. Due to various levels of mismanagement at the club it was demoted at the end of 2006. With backing from NSW Police and Citizen Youth Clubs it evolved into PCYC Parramatta Eagles, competing in the New South Wales Winter Super League and Super Youth League from the 2007 season.
The club has now returned as a new club in the Super League. The New club name is PCYC Parramatta Eagles which played in the 2007 NSW Super League. It had a good start to its club's first season & subsequently finished 3rd in the Competition.
The club continued playing in the NSW Super League until and including 2010, when it was sold to the Granville & Districts Soccer Football Association (GDSFA). After several years of rebuilding, the First Grade team finished as 2010 Premiers and, as a result, the club became eligible for promotion to Premier League, an opportunity that was too good to let slip. The 2011 season was played under the slightly changed name, Parramatta FC (nickname the Eagles).
Even though the Parramatta FC First Grade team finished at the bottom of the ladder in 2011, strong performances by the Under 20 and Under 18 teams ensured that the club remained eligible to play Premier League for 2012. As an Association-owned 'State League' club, a clear pathway for the 13,000 GDSFA players was established with the intention of returning the Eagles to its former status as the club of choice for all.
