Club History

Success in the Athenian League preceded election to the Isthmian League in 1963, where the club spent decades among the leading sides.

Hendon won the Isthmian League title in 1965/66, 1971/72 and 1996/97, and reached the FA Amateur Cup final five times, winning the trophy in 1960, 1965 and 1972. The club also enjoyed memorable FA Cup campaigns. In January 1974, Hendon drew 1–1 away to Newcastle United in the third round before losing the replay at Vicarage Road.

Another notable modern achievement came in the 2023/24 FA Trophy, when Hendon reached the fourth round and recorded a memorable 2–1 win over Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park before being eliminated by Wealdstone. The club’s supporters took ownership in 2010, helping preserve its independent identity through periods of change.
