Bath City Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Bath, Somerset, England. The club was founded in 1889 as Bath AFC, and changed its name to Bath City in 1905. The club has never played in the Football League, though Bath were heavily discussed as an entrant in the 1930s and 1940s, and came closest via election in 1978 and 1985. During the Second World War, the club won the Football League North.
Bath have reached the third round of the FA Cup six times, beating league sides such as; Crystal Palace (in 1931), Millwall (in 1959), and Cardiff City (in 1992). Bath City were crowned Southern League champions in 1960 and 1978; one of the highest levels of non-League football at the time. After a period of relative decline in the 1990s whilst in the Conference, Bath were demoted to the seventh tier in 2004. They were promoted back to the Conference in 2010, though were relegated in 2012 and have played in the National League South since.
