Guiseley AFC are a football club from Guiseley, in West Yorkshire.
They joined Yorkshire League Division Two in 1968 and were relegated to the newly formed Third Division in 1970. Having returned to the Second Division at the first attempt, they gained promotion to the First Division in 1974. Relegated from their first season, they return the following year as Yorkshire League Division Two Champions. They were Yorkshire League Runners-up in 1980 and 1982.
They were founder members of Northern Counties East League in 1982-83 and reached the FA Vase Semi-Final in 1990. They won it at Bramall Lane the following season, beating Gresley Rovers 3-1 in a replay after a 4-4 draw at Wembley Stadium along with the Northern Counties East League title, gaining promotion to the Northern Premier League Division One.
They reached the FA Vase Final again in 1992 this time as runners-up to Wimborne Town and won the Northern Premier League First Division in 1994, a season also marked by an FA Trophy semi-final appearance with Runcorn.
They stayed in the Premier Division until relegation in 2000 but returned to the top division in 2004. In the 2007/08 season, they narrowly missed out on a playoff place, finishing 6th, just one point behind Buxton.
Since 1990, they have reached the 4th Qualifying round of the FA Cup six times.
