The club was formed as Hinckley United in 1906 after the dissolution of Hinckley Town. They played in the Leicestershire Senior League until 1914, when they joined the Birmingham Combination [1] In 1925, a year after winning the Combination for the first time, they reached the last qualifying round of the FA Cup in 1925, losing 0–3 to Grimsby Town. They won their second Combination title in 1927. [2]

After the end of World War II, the club changed its name to Hinckley Athletic. In 1955 they reached the 1st round proper of the FA Cup for the first time, eventually losing in the 2nd round to Rochdale.

After a decade in the Southern League they moved back to the Combination, by now renamed the West Midlands (Regional) League.

In 1997 they merged with Hinckley Town to form Hinckley United.
