Moreton Bay United went on to beat Brisbane Strikers 2-1 in the grand final to become champions. The club qualified for the 2015 National Premier Leagues finals, beating Edgeworth Eagles 3-1 in the quarter-finals before losing 2-1 to eventual champions Blacktown City in the semi-finals.

In 2017, Moreton Bay United reached the Round of 32 stage of the FFA Cup for the first time after a 4-2 win over Olympic FC in the final preliminary round. The club went on to defeat Broadmeadow Magic 4-2 in extra time in the Round of 32, but were then knocked out 1-0 in extra time by Gold Coast City in the Round of 16. In the 2017 NPL Queensland season Moreton Bay United scraped into the final four on the last day of the regular season, then won their semi-final 3-1 against premiers Brisbane Strkers, but narrowly lost the grand final 2-1 to Western Pride after conceding a goal in the 90th minute.
