CLUB HISTORY

One of the oldest clubs in Devon football, Dartmouth United were formed in 1908 and initially competed in the Torbay and District League, forerunner of the South Devon League. In the years since, United spent many seasons as distinguished members of the Plymouth and District League, whose Premier Championship they won five times.

In the immediate years after World War 2, Dartmouth enjoyed considerable success in the F.A. Challenge Cup, F.A. Amateur Cup, Devon Senior Cup and the Victory Cup competitions. United reverted back to the South Devon League in the 68/69 season, winning the Championship twice and runners-up in their first three seasons.

 Since then, however, United have had a few lean years, but have managed to win the Herald Cup, Belli Cup and in the 94/95 season finished as runners-up in the South Devon Premier League therefore winning automatic promotion to the Westward Developments Devon County League. In that first season United finished in a very creditable fourth place and Devon League Cup semi-finalists. The 96/97 season has been, to date, the pinnacle of Dartmouth United/A.F.C's recent history when they won the Premier League Cup also finishing as runners-up in both the League and the League Cup competitions - an awesome achievement!

In May/June 1999 Dartmouth United and Dartmouth Y.M.R.C. amalgamated to form Dartmouth A.F.C.
