Orkney Football Club are a senior football team from the Orkney Islands in Scotland, who compete in the North Caledonian Football League.

This team should not be confused with the Orkney representative football team which competes in the Island Games.

History

In 2012, the Orkney Amateur Football Association (OAFA) embarked on a strategy of seeking further games against teams from the Highlands & Islands. That year, the Orkney Football Club were formed for entry in the North Caledonian Football Association's cup competitions. The club's formation had been driven by a desire for several decades for Orkney football players to be given more opportunities to compete at a higher level with the aim of improving the standard of Orkney’s most popular sport.[1]

Orkney gained full membership of the North Caledonian FA ahead of the 2014–15 season, becoming the first non-mainland club to play in the North Caledonian League itself.[2] An impressive first season saw them finishing runners-up, while also securing the Ness Cup.[3]

Orkney have won the following honours as members of the North Caledonian FA:[4]

North Caledonian League (1):
  • 2017–18

  • 2016–17
Ness Cup (2):
