History
Blyth Town were established in 1995 as a junior club, initially having three boys teams. They gradually expanded to more age groups, and added both men's and women's adult teams in 2002, with the men's team entering Division Two of the Northern Alliance.
They won Division Two at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division One. In 2004–05 they finished as Division One runners-up and were promoted to the Premier Division. The club were Premier Division champions in 2013–14, and the following season saw them win the treble of the Premier Division, Challenge Cup and George Dobbins League Cup. After winning the Premier Division and Challenge Cup again in 2015–16, they were promoted to Division Two of the Northern League.
Ground
The club play at the South Newsham Playing Fields. They applied for permission to build a 150-seat stand and install floodlights in 2014, but the application was rejected by local councillors. However, the rejection was overturned after the club appealed.
