History

The club was originally established in 1933 when a team from the village of Charnock Richard joined the Chorley Alliance League, a Sunday league competition. However, after winning the league in 1947–48, the club folded after attempting to run two teams during the following season. The club was reformed in 1955 and rejoined the Chorley Alliance League, winning the title in 1956–57, before switching to the Preston & District League. They won the league in 1960–61 and went on to win three successive league titles between 1966–67 and 1968–69. They won their final Preston & District League title in 1989–90, and also spent some time in the Bolton Combination.

In 1993 the club moved up to Division Two of the West Lancashire League. They were runners-up in 1994–95, earning promotion to Division One. After finishing as Division One runners-up in 1996–97, they won the division in 1997–98. The division was renamed the Premier Division in 1998, and they were runners-up again in 1998–99 and 2001–02, before winning the title in 2002–03. After finishing as runners-up in 2005–06, the club won the Premier Division and Wilf Carr Memorial Cup in 2008–09, and went on to win four consecutive Premier Division titles between 2011–12 and 2014–15. A second-place finish in 2015–16 saw the club promoted to Division One of the North West Counties League. In their first season in Division One they were runners-up, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 2021–22 the club won the league's Challenge Cup, beating Cammell Laird 5–0 in the final.

In 2023–24 Charnock Richard finished fourth in the Premier Division, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. They subsequently lost 1–0 to Bury in the semifinals. The club won the Challenge Cup for a second time in 2024–25, beating Stafford Town 6–2 in the final.
