HARLOW TOWN
FOOTBALL CLUB

Founded in 1879, Harlow Town Football Club holds a storied place in the local sporting landscape, built on a foundation of community pride and competitive spirit. The club’s journey from its formative years to the senior ranks has mirrored the expansion of Harlow itself, growing in tandem with the town and its people.

​

The mid-20th century proved pivotal for the Hawks, beginning with the achievement of senior status in 1937 and followed by the historic move to the Sportcentre in 1960. These eras solidified the club's reputation within the non-league pyramid, a period highlighted by high-profile matches against international opposition and deep runs in prestigious national tournaments.

Today, Harlow Town stands as a symbol of endurance and community dedication. These core principles of resilience and heritage remain at the heart of the club as it continues to honor its long-standing history while looking toward a stable and successful future.
