More than one year has been traced for the formation of HAMBLE CLUB but it is 1969 that is presently deemed to be correct. Formed as Hamble FC they made steady progress through the Southampton Junior Leagues before merging with a Sunday team, called Hamble Club and adopted their name in 1981. From the senior divisions, Hamble Club were promoted to the Hampshire League in 1993. They moved from their Mount Pleasant base to the Old College Fields and made a further move to what was then known as the Shell-Mex Ground during the 2002/03 season which remains their present home. Wessex members between 2004 and 2007, Hamble became Hampshire Premier League founders but they failed to complete the 2012/13 season and had to start a division lower. But this heralded the start of an upturn as they gained four promotions in five years, including one in their first season back in the Wessex League in 2017.
The club was established in 1969, originally as a youth team. In 1993 they joined Division Three of the Hampshire League. The club were Division Three champions in 1996/97, earning promotion to Division Two. In 2004 the Hampshire League merged into the Wessex League, with Hamble becoming members of the new Division Three. In 2006 the division was renamed Division Two, but at the end of the 2006–07 the division was disbanded and the club became founder members of the Hampshire Premier League.
Hamble pulled out of the Hampshire Premier League during the 2012/13 season. Although they were readmitted the following season, they started in the newly formed second tier of the league, Division One. The club were Division One runners-up in 2013/14 and were promoted to the Senior Division and went on to win the Senior Division in 2014/15. After finishing third the following season they were promoted to Division One and then were Division One champions in 2016/17, earning promotion to the Premier Division.
