The original club was founded in 1911 and were initially members of the Long Eaton and District Church League. Latterly known as Borrowash Wesleyan Youth Club, the club folded in 1957, only to be resurrected as Borrowash Victoria in 1963. The club gradually grew in stature and they moved from the Deans Drive ground to their current home at the Watkinson Construction Bowl in 1983.
They joined the Midland League in 1979. The club has reached the 4th round of the FA Vase twice in their history.
The first team manager is former Derby County trainee Mark Wilson who also played for Belper Town, Hednesford Town, Spalding United and Mickleover Sports. Wilson helped the club win the East Midland Counties Cup in 2009, the club's first silverware for a decade.
Borrowash Victoria have average an attendance of around 150 and a solid away following of around 20.
