History

The club was established in 1937 as Long Buckby Nomads,[1] but reformed under the current name in 1945.[2] They initially played in the Rugby & District League, before becoming founder members of the Northamptonshire Combination in 1953, joining Division One. The club were Division One runners-up in the league's inaugural season.[3] In 1968 they moved up to Division Three of the United Counties League.[2]

Long Buckby were Division Three champions in 1969–70, earning promotion to Division Two.[2] Although they were Division Two champions the following season, the club were not promoted to the Division One due to their ground not meeting the requirements of the league.[2] However, they were Division Two champions again in 1971–72 and were promoted, with Division One renamed the Premier Division the following season;[4] the 1971–72 season had also seen the club win the league's Knock-Out Cup, the Northamptonshire Junior Cup and the Daventry Charity Cup.[2] They were Premier Division runners-up in 1984–85 and won the Knock-Out Cup again the following season.[2] The club were Premier Division runners-up for a second time in 2007–08.[4]

In 2008–09 Long Buckby won the Hillier Cup, beating Brackley Town 2–0 in the final.[2] In July 2009 they won the Maunsell Cup, beating Northampton Town 3–2.[2] The 2011–12 season saw the club win the Premier Division title. However, the club were not promoted as their Station Road ground failed to meet ground grading criteria.[5] They slumped to sixteenth place in the Premier Division the following season, and after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 2014–15, the club were relegated to Division One.[4] After a couple of season finishing midtable the club turned to Dan Carter just before the start of the 2018/19 season due to the previous management team leaving during pre season . Carters first season was tough at times but the club survived a relegation battle eventually finishing 15th. the following two season both got cut short due to the covid - 19 pandemic but brought the club success on the pitch with good cup runs notably in the Fa Vase. In 2021 they were promoted to back to the Premier Division South based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons. Carter left the club to take up the managers position of his local club Rugby Borough. The club finished bottom of the Premier Division South in 2022–23 and were relegated to Division One of the Spartan South Midlands League. The clubs first season in the SSML didn't start well with the club 18th after 10 games with just 2 wins. The club decided to make a change and Dan Carter returned to the club leading them to an 11th place finish.

The club play at Station Road, also known as the Sports Field. They moved to a new pitch on the same site during the 1990s, also building a 200-seat Emms Stand.[2] The ground has a capacity of 1,000.[1]
