The origins of senior football in Maidenhead can be traced back to October 1870 with the formation of Maidenhead Football Club, who played their first game on the York Road site on February 16th, 1871. This ground, shared with the cricket club, is now officially acknowledged as the oldest continually used football ground in the world. Maidenhead were one of the original 15 entrants for the first ever FA Cup competition in 1871-72 and reached the last four in the following season. They also entered the first ever Berks & Bucks Cup competition in 1878 and the first FA Amateur Cup in 1893. The adopted club colors were Red & Black, initially worn as halved shirts, but changed to stripes in 1904.
