The club was founded in 1909. The club competed in the first ever Maltese Premier League season in 1909-10 and finished in second position to Floriana after the five game season came to an end.
Ten years down the line Sliema Wanderers finally made their mark in Maltese football by winning the Maltese Premier League title in the 1919-20 season, since then the team have gone on to win the title 26 times; a record for Malta; the last three being in 2002-03, 2003-04 and 2004-05.
Sliema Wanderers also hold the record for the most FA Trophy wins, with their first coming in 1935, when they overpowered Floriana with a 4-0 victory. The club have gone on to win this particular honour 20 times, the most recent three of which came in 2000, 2004 and in 2009; the last title being won against Valletta 7-6 on penalties after the match finished 3-3 following extra time.
With all these honours, Sliema Wanderers are currently the most successful team in the history of Maltese football with approximately 113 honours.
Sliema Wanderers have their own supporters group, which is called the Sliema Wanderers Supporters Club, and in 2010 it was the clubs 20th anniversary from the first time that the group was founded. The supporters group was started by Joe Debono and Mario Avallone, and the groups clubhouse is in Manwel Dimech Street, known as 'The Lazy Corner'.
