History

Newhaven Football Club was formed in 1887. After the first World War the club played in the Brighton, Hove & District Football League, until the end of the 1919–20 season when they became one of the founder members of Sussex County Football League.^[1] It took the club until 1953–54 for the club to win its first title. In 1965, the club was relegated to Division Two, only to return the following season after finishing runners-up. In 1968, Newhaven were relegated again, and this time took four seasons to regain their Division One status, winning Division Two in 1971–72, and Division One in 1973–74. However, the club was relegated in 1976 and spent 15 seasons in Division Two before winning the league in 1990–91. After four seasons in Division One, during which they reached the First Round of the FA Vase, Newhaven were relegated to Division Two again. In 1999, there followed a further relegation to Division Three. The club returned to Division Two in 2012 after winning the league.^[2] On 13 February 2013 Newhaven F.C lost to Crawley Town 1–0 In the Sussex Senior Cup.
