They currently play in the Isthmian League Premier Division and are based at the War Memorial Sports Ground.

They were formally registered with the Surrey County FA in September 1905 and continued to play only friendly matches until 1906 when they joined the Croydon & District League Division 2A.

They agreed to fold and amalgamate with Mill Lane Mission in 1906 but did not formally do so until they had honoured their remaining obligations at the end of the 1907–08 season.

The first ever match under this name was on 7 September 1907 at home on the Wrythe Green recreation ground in a friendly against Westbrook (Thornton Heath).

Carshalton Athletic's original colours were those inherited from St Andrews who played in Red with white stripes.

After the name change the club went on to win successive promotions in 1908, 1909 and 1910 which were rewarded with election to the Junior Division of the Southern Suburban League.

Following the reformation of the club on 31 March 1919, and after playing on a number of different grounds, Carshalton Athletic finally moved into their new (and current) home in Colston Avenue during the 1920–21 season.

Several years of indifferent league form followed with only minor highlights in cup competitions, although the club continued to grow as evidenced by a record attendance of over 8000 for an FA Challenge Cup 3rd round qualifying tie against local rivals Tooting and Mitcham United.

In the summer of 1973 Carshalton Athletic finally achieved a promotion of sorts when they were elected as founder members of the newly created Isthmian League Division 2.

Over this period Carshalton Athletic had 8 different managers and it was only the final appointment of Billy Smith in August 1986 that began to turn the club's fortunes around.

This period came to an end when Billy Smith left to take charge of Kingstonian, and was followed by a rapid turnover of managers.

After a £12 million plan to rebuild the ground fell through,[4] chairman Steve Friend resigned, followed by manager Billy Smith.

Under Jimmy Bolton, Carshalton retained their place in the Conference South in 2004–05, but in 2005–06, the club's centenary season, they were relegated back to the Isthmian League.

Hayden made some high-profile signings and there was a noticeable commitment to playing attractive, passing football but the Robins still faced another nail-biting fight for survival in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

With just 7 games to go the club was purchased by Paul Dipre who injected sufficient funds to strengthen the squad in an effort to avoid relegation.

It went right to the wire and last day results elsewhere fell perfectly and Carshalton's home win over Tonbridge Angels was enough to secure their status.

On the pitch, aided with 31 goals from Richard Jolly, The Robins finished in 4th place, setting up a play-off semi-final with Tonbridge Angels.

On 10 September the club announced the appointment of former Carshalton player Francis Vines as Bird's permanent replacement.

After a promising first half of the season, Butler's results went from bad to worse until he was sacked and the owner Paul Dipre took the reins.

Despite the poor league form there was much to celebrate in the FA Trophy with one of the most historic results in the club's history when they beat Lincoln City 3–1 at Colston Avenue, Paul Vines scoring a hat-trick.

However, a points deduction and consequent relegation for Thurrock gave them a reprieve, keeping them in the Isthmian Premier for the 2013–2014 Season.

After several seasons in Isthmian League South, Under Player-Manager Peter Adeniyi, the club finally won promotion in style.

During the war many open spaces and parks were used for agricultural purposes which meant that when football finally resumed in 1919 the old pitch needed to be levelled and resown with grass and so was unavailable for use.

[11] Knowing that the Culvers Park ground could only ever be a temporary measure, the Secretary and committee of the club continued to investigate alternative arrangements.

In 1926 a grandstand was acquired from Epsom Downs Racecourse, dismantled, moved and rebuilt on the ground to provide much needed seating.

[11] In August 2003 the club submitted plans[12] for a £12 million rebuild of the current stadium to include additional community facilities.

[19] Carshalton Athletic Pan Disability Squad was formed as a joint venture between the club and the Surrey FA in 2013.
