Cumnock Springbank Football Club was an association football club from Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland.
The club was formed in 1891. The club's successes as a junior club in its first season - amongst its victories was a four-goal win over the Mauchline club [1] - encouraged it to turn senior for 1892–93. However it only played two seasons of competitive football.
The club was one of the founder members of the South of Scotland Football League in 1892–93. The seven-team league was a failure, not coming close to completion, and the club lost all three of its played matches. [2]
Springbank was formed too late to be able to enter the main stages of the Scottish Cup, and had to enter the qualifying rounds. In 1892–93 it lost 5–1 to Kilbirnie in a replay in the first qualifying round. [3] The following season the club was humiliated with a 12–2 loss at Newmilns, again in the first qualifying round. [4]
The club had just as little success in the Ayrshire Cup. It protested two defeats against Mauchline in the first round in 1892–93, the second protest (on the basis that the goalposts were the wrong size) rejected for being made in an improper fashion. [5] In 1893–94 it got through to the second round on a successful protest against the crowd behaviour at Cronberry Eglinton in the first round, but lost 9–0 at Hurlford in the second. [6]
The club wore blue and white shirts with blue knickers. [7]
The club played at New Station Park, [8] which had been the ground of the previous senior club in the town, Cumnock F.C. (1875). [9]

The Ayrshire Cup was an annual association football regional competition in Scotland. The cup competition was a knockout tournament between football clubs in the historic county of Ayrshire. The Ayrshire Cup was first held in 1877–78, the trophy being a solid silver vase, 30 inches high, and valued at £100, designed by Messrs John Cameron & Son. The first winners were Mauchline.
The 1879–80 Scottish Cup – officially the Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup – was the seventh season of Scotland's most prestigious football knockout competition. With 142 entrants, this season saw the largest number of teams to compete for the trophy since its inception. Three-time defending champions Vale of Leven lost their first match in the competition for four seasons when they were knocked out in the first round, losing 4–3 to rivals Dumbarton. Queen's Park regained the trophy as they won the competition for the fourth time after beating Thornliebank 3–0 in the final on 21 February 1880.
