History
The club was established in 1945 and initially played in the East Devon Victory League, before joining the Exeter & District League. They entered the Premier Division in 1960 and were runners-up in their first season in the division, before going on to win it 1961–62 and 1963–64. However, they were relegated after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 1966–67. The club were later promoted back to the Premier Division of the renamed Devon & Exeter League and won the East Devon Senior Cup in 1983–84.
In 1993 Cullompton were founder members of the Devon County League. They finished as runners-up in 1997–98 and again the following season, in which they also won the Devon Premier Cup. In 2007 the league merged with the South Western League to form the South West Peninsula League, with the club placed in the Premier Division. Although they finished bottom of the division in the league's first season, they were not relegated.
