Read the full history
Hucknall Town were renamed from Hucknall Colliery Welfare in 1987 and for the next two seasons finished first in the Notts Alliance. They moved into the Central Midlands League where they finished first in both 1989–90 and 1990–91 and runners-up in 1991–92 to Lincoln United. The league cup was also won in all three seasons with the losing finalists being the now defunct Crookes, Nottingham neighbours Arnold Town and Nettleham.
Hucknall Town were promoted to the Northern Counties East League Division One and then to the Premier Division where they struggled in the Premier Division until 1996–97, when they recovered from a poor start to finish sixth. However, the League Cup and President's Cup made their way to Watnall Road with Hucknall beating Pontefract Colleries and Belper Town in the respective finals. It was the second time they had won the League Cup, having beaten Thackley in 1994.
In 1997–98, they won the Northern Counties East League and retained the league cup with North Ferriby United finishing second in both competitions. The following season came as a major surprise as Hucknall finished second in Division One, behind Droylsden. The title would have been won but for an early-season points deduction.
From 1999 to 2004 they played in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, winning the championship in the 2003–04 season. However, as their Watnall Road ground did not meet the standards of the Football Conference, they were refused promotion to the Conference National division and had to settle for a place in the new Conference North.
They were due to be relegated from the Conference North to the Northern Premier League Premier Division following the 2007–08 season. This would have been the first relegation from any league in the club's history. However, Halifax Town's financial woes meant that they were reprieved. The club were eventually relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season.
Relegation following the 2010–2011 season saw them drop into the Division One South, and further financial woes lead to them relegated again, three levels in 2012–13 to Central Midlands League South Division.
In the 2014–15 season, Hucknall Town finished 4th in the Central Midlands League and won the Central Midlands League Cup, beating Clifton All Whites 3–0 at Alfreton Town's North Street ground.
Hucknall Town became Central Midlands League South divisional champions in the 2018–19 season.
Following the 2022–2023 season, with Andy Ingle as the first team manager, Hucknall Town were promoted from the United Counties following two penalty shoot-out wins during the end of season promotion play-offs. The semi-final was against Bourne Town and the final against Birstall United
May 2025, Hucknall Town won the Nottinghamshire Senior Cup for the 7th time in their history by beating Newark and Sherwood United F.C. in front of 1025 spectators at Field Mill, aka One Call Stadium in Mansfield in a game that finished 5- 5 in normal time and 6- 6 after extra time, with the Yellows claiming the trophy 4 - 3 on penalties.
