Mousehole joined the Cornwall Combination in 1960–61 and were promoted to the South West Peninsula League Division One West on its formation in 2007, after finishing as Combination runners-up the previous season.[1] They won Division One West in 2015–16. At the end of 2018–19 the league was restructured, and Mousehole successfully applied for promotion to the Premier Division West, at Step 6 of the National League System.
Since 2017, the club have had a sponsorship arrangement with the Endorsed Group, a recruitment and software company run by a local businessman. Together with the club they have set up the Endorsed Academy, aiming to improve coaching standards and provide opportunities for young footballers in Cornwall.[2] Mousehole hosted a pre-season tournament in July 2018, the Endorsed Cup, featuring youth teams from Newcastle United, Huddersfield Town and Bolton Wanderers.[3]
In 2018 an approach was made by Mousehole concerning a possible merger between themselves and neighbours Penzance A.F.C., amid concerns that Trungle Parc may not prove viable as Mousehole progress through the leagues.[4] A further approach was made by Penzance in 2019, but in May, Mousehole released a statement confirming they had withdrawn from the discussions.[5] In 2021 they were promoted to the Premier Division of the Western League based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.[6]
