Founded in 1945, Ardley spent the majority of their early years in local competitions, primarily the Lord Jersey League, winning the Lord Jersey Cup in 1970 and Division One and the Charity Cup in 1984–85.
In 1988 they moved up to the Oxfordshire Senior League and won Division One at the first attempt, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. The 1990–91 season saw the club win the Premier Division and the Archie Goddard Cup. In 1993 they were promoted to Division One of the Hellenic League. In 1994–95 they won the Division One Cup, retaining it the following season. In the 1996–97 season they won both Division One and the Division One Cup, a feat they repeated the following season.
In 2000, league reorganisation saw the club placed in Division One West. Following improvements to their ground to allow promotion to the Premier Division, a fifth-place finish in 2003–04 led to their moving up to the Premier Division, where they have remained since. In 2006–07 they won the Supplementary Cup, and in the 2009–10 season they won the League Cup. In 2013–14 they won the Oxfordshire Senior Cup for the first time, beating Kidlington 4–0 in the final.
