Olney Town F.C. are a football club based in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England. They currently play in Division One of the United Counties League.

History

They were established in 1903 and were founder members of the North Bucks League in 1911. Following World War I they joined the South East Northants League, but returned to the North Bucks League in the 1930s, winning its second division in 1932-33. In 1954 they rejoined the South East Northants League, which had by then been renamed the Rushden & District League, but moved back to the North Bucks League again by the early 1960s. In 1996 they joined the United Counties League where they have remained since.

They won the Division One title in 1972-73 but were not promoted to the Premier Division until after they finished as runners-up in Division One two years later. They had a five season spell in the Premier Division before being relegated to Division One in 1980, where they remain to this day.

During their spell in the Premier Division, they competed in the national FA Competitions; twice in the FA Cup losing in the first qualifying round each time, and three times in the FA Vase, with a best run in 1977-78 when they reached the third round (last 64).
