They are currently members of the Northern Counties East League Division One and play at Station View.

The club was established in 1935 by employees of the London and North Eastern Railway depot in the Starbeck area of Harrogate.

League reorganisation in 1985 saw Harrogate placed in Division One, and a fourth-place finish in 1986–87 saw them promoted to the Premier Division, a season in which they also won the League Cup with a 5–0 win over Woolley Miners Welfare.

After beating Brigg Town 2–1 in the semi-finals, they lost 3–2 to North Ferriby in the final.

The club were Division One runners-up the following season, before losing 1–0 to Horbury Town in the play-off semi-finals.

The club bought its Station View ground in the Starbeck area of Harrogate with a £1,500 loan from the London and North Eastern Railway, with employees paying it off at 1p per week.
