Shelley Community Football Club is a football club based in Shelley near Huddersfield, England but play in Kirkburton. They are currently members of the Northern Counties East League having been moved from the North West Counties Football League in 2024 and play at The Stafflex Arena at Storthes Hall Park. The club is a FA Charter Standard Club affiliated to the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Football Association.
The club was founded in 1903. The club started their first season in the Huddersfield and District League. The second season in the Huddersfield & District league, saw the club pick up their first silverware when they finished as champions of Division 2 Section A, however they lost the play off for promotion to Section B winners Meltham. The club would then have to wait over twenty years for anymore success in the league, when they won the Division Two title in 1928–29. Another long wait was required for more silverware, when 31 years later they clinched the Division Three title, something they would repeat again in the 1986–87 season. Before their last title win in the Huddersfield and District league the club had folded in 1972, only returning to life for the 1980–81 season.
Up until the end of 2010–11 season the club had stayed in the Huddersfield and District league, but the following season the club joined Division Two of the West Yorkshire League, going on to win the division at their first attempt and gaining promotion to Division one. The following season the club gained promotion to the Premier division when they finished as runners up. The club would then spend the next few seasons in the Premier division of the West Yorkshire league, until the end of the 2017–18 season, when they then joined Division one North of the North West Counties League. Their first season in the North West Counties league, saw the club also make their debut in the FA Vase, making it to the second qualifying round, before being knocked out by Cammell Laird 1907.
In 2020 Shelley resigned from the North West Counties League, with their reserve team, then in Division One of the West Yorkshire Association Football League becoming the new first team. They finished second in WYL Division One in 2021–22, earning promotion to the Premier Division. The following season they finished in 5th place but were elevated back to the North West Counties League, after one season back in the NWCL and after finishing second bottom Shelley were transferred laterally to Division 1 of the NCEL for the 2024–25 season.
