St Blazey A.F.C. are a football club based in St Blazey, Cornwall in England.
They were founder members of the South Western League in 1951, and played in that league until 2007. Twelve titles indicate that they had been consistently one of the stronger teams in the league, with five of those titles coming in succession between 2000 and 2005. During that period, they held the record for the longest unbeaten streak in league football anywhere in the United Kingdom, at 75 games, until the record was broken by AFC Wimbledon in 2004.
They have competed in all three of the major FA Competitions, with the best FA Cup run coming in 1998-99, when they made it all the way to the final qualifying round before losing at home to Camberley Town by a score of 2-0. During the early days of the FA Trophy, a number of the South Western League sides competed, with St Blazey's best effort being a run to the first round proper in the competition's second season, 1970-71. Since the mid-1980s, the club has played in the FA Vase with several extended runs, the longest of which being the 2002-03 campaign when they reached a fifth round (last 16) replay before exiting at the hands of eventual finalists A.F.C. Sudbury.
