Abingdon United Football Club is a football club based in Abingdon-on-Thames, England. The club are currently members of the Hellenic League Division One and play at The Northcourt.

History

The club was founded in 1946 as a rival to the already existing Abingdon Town at the Anchor pub on the bank of the River Thames. The new club joined the North Berks League, winning it in 1953–54. In 1958 they moved up to the Hellenic League, where for the next 19 seasons the club remained in the bottom division of the Hellenic League. However, after finishing third in 1976–77 they were promoted to the Premier Division. They stayed in the premier division until the 1980–81 season, in which they finished bottom and were relegated back to Division One. However, after a single season in Division One, they made an immediate return, finishing as runners-up. The club then remained in the Hellenic premier Division for another 24 seasons.[2]

In 1982–83 Season the club entered the FA Vase for the first time; four seasons later they played in the FA Cup for the first time, losing to Stourbridge after two replays in the first qualifying round.[2]

In 2005–06 the club finished third in the Premier Division, and were promoted to Division One South & West of the Southern League.[2] The club remained in the Southern League Division One South & West until the end of the 2012-13 season, when they resigned from the league and rejoined the Hellenic League Premier Division.[2] At the end of the 2015–16 season they were relegated to Division One East.
