History
A.F.C. Mansfield was formed in June 2012 by three former directors of Mansfield Town following a series of management disputes.[1] The new club were immediately given a place in the Central Midlands League,[2] and were placed in the North Division.[3] After finishing as runners-up in their first season, the club won the North Division in 2013–14, earning promotion to Division One of the Northern Counties East League.[3] They also completed the double, winning the Central Midlands League Cup, beating Thorne Colliery 2–1 in the final.[4]
AFC Mansfield finished seventh in Division One in 2014–15. The following season saw them finish as runners-up, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[3] They also competed in the FA Cup for the first time, losing 2–1 at South Normanton Athletic in the extra-preliminary round.[3] The club finished third in the Premier Division in 2017–18, missing out on promotion on goal difference. However, after Andover Town refused promotion, AFC Mansfield were promoted instead, moving up to Division One East of the Northern Premier League.[5] Despite finishing outside the relegation zone, the club were demoted to the Northern Counties East League's Premier Division at the end of the 2018–19 season after their ground failed to meet the necessary criteria.[6]
