History

The club were established in 1879 as Alnwick United Services. They joined the North Northumberland League, winning it in 1898–99.

The following year the club adopted its current name, and in 1937–38 won the Northern Alliance for the first time. During the 1960s and early 1970s they enjoyed a sustained period of success, after finishing as runners-up in the Northern Alliance in 1959–60 and 1961–62, they won the league title in 1962–63, 1963–64, 1965–66, 1967–68, 1968–69, 1969–70, 1970–71 and 1971–72, and were runners-up in the league in 1966–67 and 1972–73.

However, after finishing eighth in their first season in Division One, they were second from bottom in 1990–91, resulting in relegation back to Division Two. The club remained in Division Two until 2006–07 when they finished bottom of the table and were relegated back to the Premier Division of the Northern Alliance. The club won the league's Subsidiary Cup in 2008–09. After finishing as runners-up in the Northern Alliance in 2010–11, they were promoted to Division Two of Northern League.
