Merstham Football Club is a football club based in Merstham, near Redhill, in Surrey, England. They play in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League after promotion in 2015. The club is affiliated to the Surrey County Football Association.
Established in 1892, the club became a founder member of the Redhill and District League in 1897. The club went on to win the Redhill and District League for the first time at the end of the 1926–27 season, a feat they repeated four more times. After their last success in the Redhill and District League in the 1950–51 season the club applied to join the Surrey Intermediate league and in 1952 they were admitted to the Eastern section of the Surrey Intermediate League.
In their first season in the Intermediate league they went on to win the title. The club then joined the Surrey Senior League in 1964, and in their seventh season in the league became champions at the end of the 1970–71 season. In the 1974–75 season the club played in their first national competition by competing in the FA Vase, losing to Horley Town in the first round. In 1978 they joined the London Spartan League and finished in third place in their first two seasons. Their time in the London Spartan League also saw them make their debut in the FA Cup, losing to Hendon in the First Qualifying round.
In 1984 they joined the Combined Counties Football League finishing runners-up in 1987–88 and again in 1989–90. In 2007-08, after finishing as runners-up in the previous two seasons, the club won the championship as well as completing the treble of the Surrey Senior Cup and the Combined Counties League Challenge Cup. This triple success was followed with promotion to the Isthmian League Division One South.
