About Huddersfield Town AFC
Formed in 1908, Huddersfield Town has one of the proudest histories of any club in English football. Recognized as one of the most successful English clubs of all time, Huddersfield Town was the first to win the English League title three times in a row in 1924, 1925 and 1926. This is a feat that has only been repeated by three other teams; Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool.
The club has also won the FA Cup on one occasion, in 1922, and this history serves as an inspiration for the future that supporters can be proud of. More recently, Huddersfield Town achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2017 and, off the field, the club is proud of its prestigious position in the wider community, giving back through innovative projects such as our ‘Early Kick-Off’ breakfast clubs, which have served over two million free meals to local schoolchildren.
