History
The team was announced on January 18, 2017 as an NPSL expansion team.[2] West Chester is a non-profit youth organization, with over 3,400 boys and girls ages 3 to 18 and approximately 350 adult players.[3]
On January 14, 2020 USL League Two announced that West Chester United would join the league for the 2020 season in the Mid Atlantic Division.[4]
Since 2017, WCU has had a rivalry with fellow Pennsylvania side Philadelphia Lone Star FC, which also joined the NPSL in 2017. Both teams' first league match was against one-another and made the first leg of a derby, the Route 3 Derby, with the winner after both legs being awarded the Kildare's Cup.[5] West Chester has won the cup every year of its existence, with the closest series coming in 2019 when United won 4-3 after initially losing the first game for the first time.[6][7]
