History

Nyah Nyah West United was formed in 1978 when Nyah Football Club and Nyah West Football Club of the Mid-Murray Football League elected to merge.[2] The club's senior team initially struggled following their formation. Following the 1996 season, the club moved to the Central Murray Football League following the merge of the Mid-Murray, Northern and Echuca leagues.[3]
