Millbrook Association Football Club is an English football club based in Millbrook, Cornwall who compete in the South West Peninsula League (SWPL). Their Reserve Team are part of the East Cornwall League (ECL).
The club was formed in 1888 and are one of oldest clubs in Cornwall. After joining the South Western League in 1980, they went on to finish as league runners-up in 1982. In 1984, they again narrowly missed out on silverware and were finalists in the Cornwall Senior Cup, the county's premier cup competition. They also reached the final in 1999.
Due to finishing in the league's 'top 4' in 2004 and 2005, Millbrook qualified for the FA Vase and went on to reach the second qualifying round in 2005 and 2006.
In 2007, the South Western League merged with its Devon equivalent, the Devon County League, to form the SWPL. The club remained in the league for three seasons before voluntarily demoting themselves for financial reasons.
During this time, they competed in the East Cornwall League (the league in which their Reserve Team now compete in) and went on to finish as Division One runners-up in 2012 and League Cup finalists in 2014. The club were also promoted from the Premier Division in 2014 and re-joined the SWPL.
The club's traditional colours are black and white and they play their football at Jenkins Park (formerly Mill Park).
The club was established in 1888 and, along with Torpoint Athletic (formed in 1887) and Penzance (formed in 1888), are one of the three oldest clubs in Cornwall. They were also one of the eight founder members of the Cornwall FA, which was formed a year later in 1889. The club competed at a local level for 92 years, a number of these in the neighbouring Plymouth and District League. They won various honours at this standard although there are no records online to support this.
