History
The club was established in 1964, and initially played in the Sudbury Sunday League, before joining Division Three of the Bury and District League in 1966. They were promoted to Division Two at the end of their first season, and were promoted again the next. In 1970 they transferred to Division Six of the Colchester & East Essex League. In 1971–72 they won the division, and were promoted to Division Five. The following season they won all 26 matches and were promoted again. The next two seasons also saw the club promoted as champions, reaching Division Two in 1975.
In 1976 the club switched leagues again, this time to Division One of the Essex and Suffolk Border League. Although they were placed in Division Two after restructuring in 1978, they were promoted to Division One in 1982–83 after finishing as Division Two runners-up. In 1985–86 they were promoted to the Premier Division, and in the 1988–89 season they won the league, the league cup (beating Tiptree United Reserves on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the final) and the Suffolk Senior Cup with a 1–0 win against Sudbury Wanderers in the final. At the end of the season they were promoted to Division One of the Eastern Counties League.
They won the division at the first attempt, and were promoted to the Premier Division, where they remained until 1996, when they finished bottom and were relegated. In 2001 the club attempted to change their name to Sudbury Borough, but it was rejected by the parish council. They reached the final of the Suffolk Senior Cup in 2018–19, losing 4–3 to Achilles. Following league restructuring, Cornard were placed in Division One North in 2018. They were transferred to Division One South in 2021, and back to Division One North the following year.
