[edit] History
The club was established in 1899, however it is unclear what leagues they played in until 1931, when they joined the Harrow & Wembley League. They were champions of this league for six years in a row just prior to World War II and three more times after the war. This success did not last, however, and the 1950s and 1960s were mainly spent playing local junior-level football. In 1969 the Woods joined the Middlesex County Senior League.
In 1978 Northwood won the Middlesex League championship and were able to step up to the Hellenic League Division One, which they won in their debut season. This led to promotion to the Premier Division, where they spent five, mostly mid-table, seasons.
The club moved across the pyramid in 1984 to the London Spartan League, which was renamed back to the Spartan League in 1992. In an eight-season spell, Northwood finished in the top three on four occasions, culminating with the Premier Division title in the 1992-93 season, leading to admission to the Isthmian League in 1993.
Northwood gradually climbed through the divisions of the Isthmian League, reaching the Premier Division in 2003, but were switched to the Southern League in 2005, where they remain.
