The club was established in 1890 as Newquay Football Club,[1][2] but did not play any competitive games until entering the Cornwall Senior Cup in 1896–97.[3] They were renamed Newquay One and All in 1903 and went on to win the Cornwall Charity Shield in 1906–07.[3] After folding in 1912, the club was re-established as Newquay Rovers in 1920. The new club joined the Plymouth & District League, but left in 1927 due to the cost of travelling.[3] In 1931 they were founder members of the Cornwall Senior League, going on to win the league and the Cornwall Senior Cup in 1934–35.[3] However, the club disbanded in 1937.[2]
The current incarnation of the club was formed in 1946,[2] rejoining the Cornwall Senior League.[3] In 1951 they were founder members of the South Western League.[4] They won the Cornwall Senior Cup in 1952–53, 1954–55 and 1956–57, before finishing as runners-up in the South Western League in 1957–58.[4] They were league champions the following season and retained the title in 1959–60.[4] The club won the league again in 1977–78, 1979–80, 1981–82 and 1983–84, before finishing as runners-up in 1984–85.[4] They were South Western League champions for a seventh time in 1987–88 and finished as runners-up in 1991–92,as well as winning the Cornwall Senior Cup. They finished second in the league again in 1993–94.[4]
In 2007 the South Western League merged with the Devon County League to form the South West Peninsula League, with Newquay placed in Division One West. They were runners-up in the division in 2008–09 and then champions in 2011–12, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[4] Following league reorganisation at the end of the 2018–19 season, the club were placed in the Premier Division West.
