Guernsey Football Club are a community football club located in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands. The club was formed in 2011 and became a member of the Combined Counties Football League Division One for the 2011–12 season. The proposal to establish the club and join the league was developed by the Guernsey Football Association in an attempt to offer the island’s senior elite players the opportunity to progress further and test themselves in the English non-league pyramid system.

The FNB Priaulx League, currently operated by the Guernsey Football Association, has been the top level of football on Guernsey since 1893. In addition, a Guernsey team has competed in the annual Muratti trophy against fellow Channel Islands sides since 1905 and at the Island Games since 1991.

In 2010, the league's representative team won the FA National League System Cup and, as a result, qualified to represent England in the 2011 UEFA Regions Cup. This was the catalyst which inspired the creation of an island team to compete in the National League System and in June 2011 the Combined Counties Football League accepted Guernsey into its Combined Counties Football League Division One. Level 10 in the English football league system. This makes Guernsey the first team from the Channel Islands to compete in mainland British football, and the club will be funding the cost of both its own and other teams' travel to and from the island.
