City of Liverpool is an English football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside. Formed in 2015, they were admitted to the North West Counties League Division One in 2016.

The first meeting that led to the formation of the club was proposed in October 2014 by Paul Manning and present at that 1st meeting, were Peter Furmedge, Martin Jones, Kevin Morland & Nicky Allt. A number of names such as "Liverpool City FC" and "Merseyside FC" were considered before the club was officially established in May 2015 as "City of Liverpool FC". The club chose to play in the colour purple due to it being the civic colour of the city.

Simon Burton, formerly of Runcorn Town, was appointed as the first manager of the club in March 2016. The club applied to join the North West Counties Football League in early 2016 but their application was rejected by the FA in May and they were instead placed in the Liverpool County Premier League. They chose to take up their option to appeal the decision, particularly in light of the league being left with a vacancy following the resignation of Northwich Manchester Villa, and attended an appeal hearing at Wembley Stadium on 8 June 2016. The appeal was successful, allowing the club to join the First Division of the North West Counties Football League for the 2016–17 season.

The club played its historic first game away to Prestatyn Town of the Cymru Alliance on 9 July 2016 in a pre-season friendly, which resulted in a 3-2 win

Following a 4 - 0 aggregate win over Widnes FC in the Semi Final, City of Liverpool have secured a place in the Final of The Reusch Cup, to be held at Millbank Linnets Stadium, the home of Runcorn Linnets FC, on Monday May 1st, KO 3pm, where they will meet Sandbach United.
