List of Plymouth Argyle F.C. seasons

Plymouth Argyle Football Club is an English association football club based in Plymouth, Devon. They compete in Football League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system, as of the 2012–13 season. The club was founded in 1886 as Argyle Football Club. At this time, there was no League football, so matches were arranged on an ad hoc basis, supplemented by cup competitions. In January 1903, the club became a limited company and changed their name to Plymouth Argyle F.C. Election to the Southern League followed in March, as the club gained direct entry to the First Division for the 1903–04 season. The club were also invited to compete in the Western League, a competition which was considered secondary to the Southern League.

Argyle finished as runners-up in 1908 and 1912, before winning the League championship for the first time in 1913. The club harboured ambitions on entering the Second Division of the Football League before competitive football was put on-hold in May 1915 due to the First World War. The Southern League resumed in August 1919, but it was to be Argyle's last season as a member before the League's top division was absorbed by the Football League to create the Third Division ahead of the 1920–21 season. A year later, more clubs were added to the division and it was split in two, Third Division North and Third Division South. Argyle were placed in the latter.
