York City captain Chris Smith lifting the FA Trophy after the 2–0 win over Newport County at Wembley Stadium in the 2012 FA Trophy final

York City Football Club, a professional association football club based in York, North Yorkshire, England, was founded in 1922. They were elected to play in the Midland League for the 1922–23 season.[1] After seven seasons in the Midland League, York were elected to play in the Football League in 1929 and were placed in the Third Division North.[2] The team reached the semi-final of the 1954–55 FA Cup, and were defeated by eventual winners Newcastle United in a replay, which is the furthest the club have reached in the competition.[3] York played in the Third Division North until the 1958–59 season, when they were placed in the Fourth Division on league reorganisation.[4] They won the first promotion in their history this season, after finishing third in the Fourth Division.[5]

York were promoted to the Second Division in 1974 and the 1974–75 season saw them achieve their highest league placing after finishing in 15th place.[3] Two successive relegations and a finish of 22nd in the Fourth Division saw the club apply for re-election to the Football League at the end of the 1977–78 season.[3] York won their first and only title after finishing first in the Fourth Division in the 1983–84 season with 101 points,[3] becoming the first team to reach a three-figure points total in a Football League season.[6] The club's first play-off success came in the 1992–93 season, against Crewe Alexandra in the final.[7] After a 1–1 extra-time draw, York won 5–3 in a penalty shoot-out at Wembley Stadium to earn promotion to the Second Division.[8] The following season saw York compete in the Second Division play-off semi-final, where they were beaten 1–0 on aggregate by Stockport County.[9]

York were relegated to the Conference National after finishing bottom of the Third Division in the 2003–04 season, ending 75 years of Football League membership.[10] The team reached the 2009 FA Trophy final in 2008–09, which was played at the new Wembley Stadium, where York were beaten 2–0 by Stevenage Borough.[11] The 2011–12 season concluded with two victories at Wembley; after Newport County were defeated 2–0 in the 2012 FA Trophy final,[12] York's Football League status was restored with a 2–1 victory over Luton Town in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off final.[13] The club endured successive relegations from League Two to the National League North in the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons,[14][15] but finished the latter with a 3–2 win over Macclesfield Town at Wembley in the 2017 FA Trophy final.[16] York spent five years in the National League North, being promoted to the National League via the play-offs in the 2021–22 season.[17]

As at the end of 2022–23, the club's first team had spent 2 seasons in the second tier of English football, 38 in the third, 32 in the fourth, and 21 in non-League football.[3] The table details their achievements in first-team competitions, and records their top goalscorer and average home league attendance, for each completed season since their first in 1922–23.

  5. ^ York were elected to the Midland League for the 1922–23 season.[41]
  6. ^ York did not enter the FA Cup in the 1922–23 season as the club was formed too late to apply.[41]
  7. ^ After eight reserve teams withdrew from the Midland League in the summer of 1924 to form the Midland Combination, two competitions were formed to ensure a full set of fixtures.[42] The first competition concluded in February 1925 with 28 fixtures having been played, and the second was organised into subsidiary North and South sections.[42] York competed in the North section, finishing with the following record: P 14 W 7 D 3 L 4 F 21 A 18 Pts 17 Pos 2nd.[42]
  8. ^ York were elected to the Football League Third Division North for the 1929–30 season.[43]
  9. ^ When the Second World War began, the 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned with three matches played.[44]

  17. ^ Promoted to the Football League Second Division via the play-offs, beating Bury 1–0 on aggregate in the semi-final and Crewe Alexandra 5–3 in a penalty shoot-out in the final after the match had finished 1–1 after extra time.[51]
  18. ^ Lost in the play-off semi-final to Stockport County 1–0 on aggregate.[9]
  19. ^ Scored 22 goals in the Conference National.[52][53]

  21. ^ York's first appearance in the final of a knockout cup competition, which was a 2–0 defeat to Stevenage Borough.[11]

  27. ^ Lost in the play-off semi-final to Fleetwood Town 1–0 on aggregate.[60]
  28. ^ The 2019–20 season was disrupted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The National League was suspended in mid-March 2020 and the clubs voted six weeks later to end the regular season programme.[61] Teams had not all played the same number of matches, so it was agreed to construct final league tables on an unweighted points per game basis.[62] York's 81.529 points per game placed them second and meant they qualified for the play-offs, in which they were beaten 2–0 by Altrincham in the semi-final.[63]
  29. ^ After the 2020–21 season was disrupted by COVID-19 pandemic-related issues, including matches being played behind closed doors, testing requirements, and a perceived lack of adequate government support, the National League clubs voted on whether to continue their season. As a result, the National Leagues North and South were declared null and void in February 2021, at which point the northern clubs had played between 11 and 18 matches.[64]
  30. ^ Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the first five of York's seven home league matches in the 2020–21 season were played behind closed doors. The last two were played in front of COVID-restricted capacity crowds of 400 and 627.[65]
