The club was established in 1902.
In 1947 and then known as Hythe and Power United, they joined Division Three West of the Hampshire League.
They won the division in 1949–50, but were relegated back to Division Three West at the end of the 1951–52 season. They were transferred to Division Three East in 1954, and the two third divisions were merged into one in 1955.
After finishing bottom of Division Three in 1962, the club returned to the Southampton Junior Division. They won Division Two of the
Southampton League in 1970–71. The following season they finished second in Division One and were promoted to the Premier Division. However, two relegations saw the club back in Division Two by 1975. They won the title in 1975–76, but then yo-yoed between Division One and Division Two for several seasons.
They were promoted to the Premier Division in 1986, and returned to the Hampshire League in 1994 when they joined Division Three. After finishing as runners-up in their first season, they were promoted to Division Two. In 1999 the league was reorganised and the club were placed in the Premier Division.
In 2004 they were founder members of the new Division Two of the Wessex League, which in 2006 was renamed Division One. Hythe have continued to remain in this division
Hythe entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2010/11 season and their first FA Cup game was in 2014/15season
In the 18/19 season Hythe had their first cup final action for a long time losing to Bournemouth Poppies in the Bournemouth Senior Cup by the odd goal
In the 19/20 season Hythe progressed to the first qualifying round of the FA Cup after beating two Wessex Premier League sides only to lose to Kidlington from Southern League Division One Central who were two leagues above
The club moved to their new ground at Clayfields during the 2014/15 season where the ground was rebuilt with new floodlights, hardstanding, barriers and fencing since this move the club has continued to improve the facilities
