Premier Division, 18thHome coloursDartmouth Association Football Club is a football club based in Dartmouth, Devon, England, playing in the South West Peninsula League. One of their most famous former players is Ralph Birkett, who left Dartmouth to play for Torquay United and went on to play for the England national football team.
Established in 1908 as Dartmouth United, the club began competing in the Torbay and District League. They later moved into the Plymouth and District League, winning the title five times, but went back to the South Devon League for the 1968-69 season. They finished in the top two in each of their first three seasons in the South Devon League, winning the competition twice. In 1995, the club finished as runners-up in the South Devon League, winning automatic promotion to the Devon County League. They finished 4th in their first season and, the following season (1995-96), won the Premier League Cup, and finished runners-up in both the League and League Cup.
In mid-1999, Dartmouth United and Dartmouth Y.M.R.C. amalgamated to form Dartmouth A.F.C. The new club won the Devon County League title in 2001-02 and 2002-03, but opted to remain in the Devon League rather than climb the non-league pyramid.
