The club was established in 1920 as Loxwood and Alfold and joined the Rudgwick & District League.[1] The club split in 1928 and Alfold joined the Cranleigh & District league, before becoming members of the Horsham & District League.[1] They won the league title, the League Cup and the District Cup in 1953–54.[2] When the league folded in the late 1960s, the club transferred to the West Sussex League.[2] They won the Tony Kopp Cup in 1970–71 and were Division Two North champions 1980–81 and 1993–94,[3] also winning the Surrey County Lower Junior Cup in 1988.[2] The club won the Premier Division title in 2002–03 and the Chichester Charity Cup in 2010–11.[3]
Alfold were Division Two runners-up in 2012–13, earning promotion to Division One. In 2015 they moved up to Division Two of the Southern Combination. A fourth-place finish in 2017–18 was enough to earn promotion to Division One.[4] The following season saw the club win the Division One title, resulting in promotion to the Premier Division.[5] In 2022–23 they finished second-from-bottom of the Premier Division and were relegated back to Division One.
The club play at the Recreation Ground in Dunsfold Road, Alfold.[6] A new 50-seat stand and floodlights were installed in 2018.[7]
