LEAGUE COMPETITIONS

The highest level of football achieved by Cambridge Football Club was a single season in the Northern League’s Premier Division in 1996.

The club generally ‘punched above its weight’ in nearly 40 years of competition in the Northern League before succumbing to relegation in 2011.

Cambridge returned to the Northern League in 2018.
