The club was established in 2005,[1] although it is an offshoot of the Old Wulfrunians club, which has existed since 1922. Teams from the club still compete in the Birmingham Amateur Football Association under the Old Wulfrunians name.[2] AFC Wulfrunians joined the West Midlands (Regional) League in 2005. In their first season, they won the Division Two Championship, and in their second they finished as runners-up in Division One, earning promotion for the 2007–08 season to the West Midlands Regional League Premier Division.[3] In the 2008–09 season the club won the championship of this league. The previous two seasons - 2009-10 and 2010-11 have both resulted in third place finishes. After ending as runners up in 2007-08 and 2008-09, AFC Wulfrunians won the JW Hunt Cup in 2010-11[4] with a 3-0 win against Gornal Athletic.
Castlecroft Stadium, home of AFC Wulfrunians, was originally built in the 1950's by Wolverhampton Wanderers as a training ground.[5] In the nineties, it was bought by the Rugby Football Union to be used as a schools and referees training centre / regional headquarters. AFC Wulfrunians are now leaseholders of the ground after buying the lease from the RFU. The stand, situated on the west side of the pitch, holds up to 500 spectators.
