The club was originally known as Churchgreen United. They were renamed Earlswood Town in 1968, at which point they were playing in the West Midlands Metropolitan League. The club joined the Mercian League in 1971 and won the league's Queens Hospital Cup in 1972–73. After winning the Aston Villa Shield in 1978–79, the club were Premier Division runners-up the following season and went on to win the Premier Division title in 1981–82. They then moved up to Division Three of the Midland Combination, which was renamed Division Two in 1983.
Earlswood won the Midland Combination's Challenge Vase in 2002–03 and retained the trophy the following season. A fourth-place finish in 2007–08 saw them promoted to Division One. The club were runners-up in Division One in 2009–10, and after moving to Pilkington XXX's Triplex Ground in order to meet the ground grading criteria for the Premier Division, the club won the Division One title the following season, earning promotion to the Premier Division. When the Midland Combination merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League in 2014, Earlswood were placed in Division Two.
