History
The club originally played in the Allertonshire League, before moving onto the Vale of Mowbray League and the Ripon & District League,[1] before then becoming members of the Teesside League in 1972.[2] However, they left the Teesside League in 1974, transferring to the North Yorkshire League. The club later joined the Darlington & District League and then the Harrogate & District League. In 1982 they moved up to the newly-formed Division Two of the Northern League.[3] After finishing as runners-up in Division Two in 1989–90, the club were promoted to Division One.[3] In 1993–94 they won the Northern League Cup.[1]
Northallerton Town folded during the summer of 1994 and were reformed as Northallerton Football Club.[4] The 1994–95 season saw them finish second-from-bottom of Division Two, resulting in relegation to Division One.[5] However, they were Division Two champions in 1996–97 and were promoted back to Division One.[5] In 1998 the club reverted to their previous name after being relegated back to Division Two at the end of the 1997–98 season.[5] The club were Division Two runners-up in 2005–06, resulting in promotion to Division One.[3] In 2008–09 they finished bottom of Division One and were relegated back to Division Two.[3] The club won the league's Ernest Armstrong Memorial Cup in 2011–12.[1] They won the trophy again in 2015–16 and retained the trophy the following season.[1]
Ground
The club played at the Bluestone Ground until 1974 when it was compulsorily purchased by North Yorkshire County Council.[4] The council provided the club with a new ground on Ainderby Road.[4] In the early 1990s a 150-seat stand and a covered terrace with a capacity of 400 were built, with terracing also installed behind both goals.[4]
