Winchester City was formed in 1884. They were the North Division champions in 1904/05, winning their first ever title. They joined the Southern League in 1971/72, but they were unable to sustain this move, and had to return to the Hampshire League after only two seasons. In 1991/92, they won the Hampshire League Division Two, and were promoted to Division One. In 1993/94, Winchester beat Cowes Sports to win the Trophyman Cup. The club underwent a reorganization in 1999/00 after a financially-turbulent previous season. But they emerged out of the tough period and were Division One champions again in 2000/01, earning promotion to the Premier Division. They also won the Inter League Shield that season. In 2001/02, the club merged with Winchester Castle, looking to earn promotion to the Wessex League, but only managed to finish third in the league. However, they won the Hampshire League title the next season, alongwith the Trophyman Cup and the Southampton Senior Cup, and also reached the quarterfinals of the FA Vase.

With the league victory in 2002/03, the club earned promotion to the Wessex League. The season turned out to be extremely successful for the club as they won the league in only their first season in it, and capped it with the Wessex League Cup title, as well as winning the FA Vase. But they were unable to earn promotion to the Southern Football League because the ground criteria was not met. Two new signings were made on the 29th May of promising midfielders John McElroy and Ivan Brett. Steve Tate hopes this will bring a needed vitality and zest to the pitch in the coming season.
