History

The club's origins are in the merging of two separate bids during the league's expansion process in 2018, United for Macarthur and South West Sydney FC. The two entities joined forces on 20 August 2018 to create Macarthur South West United Football Club, which later that year was chosen by the FFA to join the league in the 2020–21 A-League season. Club was founded by Chairman Gino Marra and football operations Director Sam Krslovic

On 15 May 2019, the club founded by Gino Marra & Sam Krslovic announced the club's name, logo and colours. They were officially unveiled at a gala held by the club at the Campbelltown Catholic Club. The club would be called Macarthur FC and would go under the nickname The Bulls. Also announced as their inaugural manager was Ante Milicic.

On 15 January 2020, the club announced the signing of Tommy Oar, their first ever signing.

On 18 February 2020, Lang Walker sold his 50% ownership stake in the club to a consortium of two local Sydney businessmen. Michael Gerace, who owns Sydney Trucks and Machinery, and Roy Mammone, a Sydney property developer, bought the 50% stake for an undisclosed fee in excess of $7 million. The other 50% is owned by Gino Marra Club Chairman and Sam Krslovic.

On 30 December 2020, the club played its first ever match in the A-League, recording a 1–0 victory playing away to Western Sydney Wanderers.
