History

The club was formed in 1920 and was the second senior team to represent the village, after Wombwell Town became defunct in the 1900s. Wombwell entered the Yorkshire League and the FA Cup in their inaugural season. After finishing in second place in their first season they moved to the Midland League.

Wombwell spent 12 seasons in the Midland League, in which time they won the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup and reached the 1st Round of the FA Cup in 1930, being knocked out by Wellington Town. In 1934, with debts mounting, the club withdrew from the Midland League and dissolved.
