North Ferriby United Association Football Club was a semi-professional football club in North Ferriby, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. At the time of their demise they were members of the Northern Premier League and played at Grange Lane.
Formed in 1934, North Ferriby reached the Northern Premier League in 2000, and were promoted to the league's Premier Division after winning Division One in the 2004–05 season. The club then won the Premier Division in 2012–13, thus earning promotion to the Conference North. In 2015, they beat Wrexham of the Conference Premier to win the 2014–15 FA Trophy. They were then promoted to the renamed National League after beating AFC Fylde in the 2015–16 National League North play-off final. However, two relegations in as many seasons saw them drop back into the Northern Premier League in 2018. The club was liquidated following a court order on 15 March 2019.[1] On 20 April 2019 it was announced that a phoenix club had been formed, to be known as North Ferriby Football Club, and approval had been granted for them to participate in the Northern Counties East Football League commencing in the 2019–20 season.[2]
