Huntingdon United F.C. is an English football club based in Huntingdon. They are currently members of the Cambridgeshire League Senior Division B.
The original Huntingdon United were established in 1948 as a merger of Huntingdon Town and Huntingdon Wanderers. Town had been formed in the 1800s and won the Huntingdonshire Senior Cup eleven times before World War I. For most of the period between 1922 and the merger, they had played in the Peterborough & District League. The newly merged club joined the Central Amateur League in 1949, but the league folded at the end of the season. The club then joined Division Two of the United Counties League instead. In 1960 they dropped into Division One of the Peterborough & District League in 1960. They won the division in 1962–63 and were promoted to the Premier Division, where they won the title in 1974–75 and 1975–76.
In 1988 they joined the newly formed Division One of the Eastern Counties League and finished ninth in their first season. After finishing fourteenth in 1989–90 and sixteenth in 1990–91, the club finished second from bottom in 1991–92. With no secretary and only two club officials left, the club resigned from the league at the end of the season. The first team replaced their reserves in the Huntingdonshire League. They joined the newly established West Anglian League in 1994, and were runners-up in its first season. The following year they won the league and cup double, and were promoted to Division One of the United Counties League. They finished fifth in their first season, by now playing at the Sapley Road playing fields after leaving their Tower Field ground. However, after a planned move to a new ground in Kings Ripton Road fell through (the ground eventually became home to Huntingdon Town), the manager and most of the players left. The following season they finished bottom of Division One, conceding 273 goals in 34 matches.
