Unconventional ferromagnetism and superconductivity in the imbalanced kagome-lattice Hubbard model are investigated by the mean-field theory and determinant quantum Monte Carlo method. Due to the asymmetric band structure of kagome lattice, the spin-$z$ ferromagnetic order intrinsically exists in the system, which is first enhanced by the interaction, and then continuously destructed after reaching a maximum at a moderate interaction strength. In contrast, the $xy$-plane ferromagnetism develops only above a critical interaction, which is estimated to be $U_c/t=3.65\pm 0.05$ by finite-size scaling. We further verify the nature of the above transverse magnetic transition, and demonstrate it belongs to the three-dimensional $XY$ universality class. Finally, we study the superconducting property, and reveal the possible superconducting state has a triplet $f$-wave pairing symmetry. Our results uncover the exotic quantum states induced by the interactions on kagome lattice, and provide important insights regarding the interplay between electronic correlations and geometry frustrations.
