Albany Creek Excelsior Football Club was founded in 1963 by Hec Wolter, the headmaster of Albany Creek Primary School. The early years of the club focussed on providing teams for Brisbane's junior soccer competitions, with an emphasis on the development of local junior players.
The club is first recorded as competing in senior competition in 1977 when it played in Brisbane's Division Seven. The club slowly rose up the ranks and was promoted to Division Two after winning the 1995 Division Three Grand Final against Capalaba. For the next 14 seasons from 1996 to 2009, Albany Creek Excelsior remained at the second tier of Brisbane competition, just one level below the Brisbane Premier League.
In 2007, Albany Creek Excelsior was the largest football club on Brisbane's northside with 63 junior teams, 5 senior squads and over 760 male and female players spanning the junior and senior ranks.
After relegation in 2009, a season when the club failed to win a game, Albany Creek Excelsior bounced back and narrowly missed promotion in 2010 Premier League Two, and achieved the best cup run in their history by reaching the semi-finals of the 2010 Brisbane Premier Cup before being knocked out by Rochedale Rovers.
Between 2007 and 2011, the club was able to invest heavily in infrastructure at Wolter Park and the South Pine Sports Complex, thanks to generous donations from supporters of the club together with government financial support. These investments contributed to the club being promoted to the Brisbane Premier League for the first time in 2013, and its associated club Moreton City Excelsior FC being selected into the National Premier Leagues Queensland.
The Moreton City Excelsior FC NPL share with Moreton City Excelsior FC Reserves FQLD a home ground at Wolter Park, Albany Creek.
