Bath City Football Club was founded in 1889 as Bath AFC, and changed its name to Bath City in 1905. The club was heavily discussed for entry into the Football League Third Division during the 1930s, though Bath missed out on election to the Football League on multiple occasions, including 1935, 1978 and 1985. Upon the outbreak of the Second World War, the club won the Football League North – making them the only non-League football club to have ever won an English Football League trophy. Bath reached the third round of the FA Cup six times, beating league sides such as Crystal Palace (in 1931), Millwall (in 1959), and Cardiff City (in 1992).

The club were crowned Southern League champions in 1960 and 1978; one of the highest levels of non-League football at the time. After a period of relative decline in the 1990s whilst in the Conference, Bath were demoted to the seventh tier in 2004, the lowest level the club has ever played at. They were promoted in 2007, and then again in 2010, and played in the Conference for the first time since 1997, though the club were relegated in 2012 and have played in the National League South since. Bath's record appearance maker is Dave Mogg, who made 515 appearances over a 16-year period with the club. Tony Ricketts has the second most appearances with 506. Players with more than 400 appearances include Dave Singleton, Dave Palmer and Jim Rollo.
