This list encompasses the major honours won by York City, and records set by the club, its players and its managers. The player records section itemises the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions. It also records notable achievements by York players on the international stage, and the highest transfer fees paid and received by the club. Attendance records at Fulfordgate, Bootham Crescent and the York Community Stadium are also included.
All figures are correct as of the match played on 21 May 2022, the final match of York's 2021–22 season.
Where a transfer in the record transfer fees tables below involved an initial fee potentially rising to a higher figure depending on contractual clauses being satisfied in the future, the initial fee is listed in the tables beside a footnote detailing any additional payments.

^A clause was included in the transfer which stipulated that York would receive an additional £50,000 should Reading earn promotion during the lifetime of Murty's four-year contract.[23] York claimed that they were owed the payment after Reading won promotion in the 2001–02 season, although Reading argued that the clause no longer applied as Murty had signed a new contract a year earlier.[24] The two clubs agreed on an undisclosed settlement in September 2002.[25]
^York received an additional £210,000 from a sell-on clause when McCarthy left Port Vale for Birmingham City for a £1.5 million fee in September 1997.[27][28]
^An appearance-based clause meant that an additional £100,000 would be paid to York for every 5 first-team appearances up to 50 that Greening made for Manchester United.[30] As he made 27 appearances for Manchester United,[31] York received £500,000 in total from this clause.[32] Another contractual clause meant that York would receive 25% of the difference between the fee received by Manchester United should he be transferred and what York had already received from United.[33] York received £287,500 when Greening left Manchester United for Middlesbrough for a £2 million fee in August 2001.[34]
