Holsworthy Association Football Club is a football club based in Holsworthy, Devon, England.
Established in 1891, the club joined the South Western League in 1971. They spent over thirty years in the South Western League, without ever winning the title, but after moving sideways to the Devon County League in 2003, they won the title at their first attempt. In the 2005-06 season, they finished third, thus cementing their position as one of the stronger clubs in the league.
From 1977 to 1981, the club competed in the FA Vase, three times reaching the First Round Proper. They are currently not allowed to compete in the F.A. competitions because their Upcott Field ground is slightly too small to meet the minimum standards.
For the 2006-07 season, they remained in the Devon County League under new manager Mickey Clark and Bobby Oaten, with their reserve team newly elected to the East Cornwall League. They joined the South West Peninsula League Premier Division in 2007 with Jamie Parr taking the joint managerial role from Bobby Oaten.
