History

The club was founded in 1920, and played local football until joining the Western League when it re-established a second division in 1976. They have frequently moved between the Premier Division and Division One, but are currently members of the Division One following relegation from the Premier Division at the end of the 2008–09 season.

They have been regular entrants in national cup competitions in recent years, never reaching the First Round proper of the FA Cup, and with a best FA Vase run of reaching the Fourth Round (last 32 clubs) in 1989–90.

The club also fields two teams in the Perry Street and District League.

Ground

Chard Town play their games at Denning Sports Field, Zembard Lane, Chard, TA20 1JL.
