The club was formed asHarworth Colliery Athletic in 1931 and initially played in local leagues before joining the Yorkshire League asHarworth Colliery Institute after the Second World War, remaining in that League until theNorthern Counties East League was formed in 1982. Harworth spent four years in that league before joining theCentral Midlands League as a founder member of the Supreme Division. Runners-up in the first season, Harworth Colliery was top in the following season. The club was relegated to the Premier Division in 2001 before being placed back in the Supreme Division when the League was reorganised.
In the1979–80 season, the club reached the third round of theFA Vase competition. Harworth has also competed in theFA Cup but has never progressed past the second qualifying round.[1][2]
After a few shaky years in the Central Midlands Division One finishing in the lower regions of the league the club took the opportunity to be promoted to the Supreme Division for the 2008–09 season. The team was top of the league for the majority of the season, but with injuries and suspensions towards the end of the season the team finished in seventh place. After the season, the manager Mark Brogan stepped down after two years in charge.
