Desborough Town F.C. is a football club based in Desborough, Northamptonshire, England. The club is currently a member of the United Counties League Premier Division.
History
The "Ar Tarn" was founded in 1896, joining the Northants League in its second season (1896–97). This league later became the United Counties League; the club has played in every official season since with the exception of 1945–46, since 1972–73 in the Premier Division. This longevity has meant that they are the second-most frequent title winners in League history (Rushden Town have won it most often), but they have not been champions since 1967.
In 2007-08, Desborough Town beat Daventry Town 3–2 to win the United Counties League Cup.
In December 2008, the club suffered a fire at their ground, leaving them with an uncertain future.
