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, they 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 this competition.[3] York played in the Third Division North until 1958–59, 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 into the Second Division in 1974 and 1974–75 saw them achieve their highest league placing after finishing in 15th in the Second Division.[3] Two successive relegations and a finish of 22nd in the Fourth Division saw the club apply for re-election into the Football League at the end of 1977–78.[3] The club won its first and only title after finishing first in the Fourth Division in 1983–84 with 101 points,[3] becoming the first team to reach 100 points in a Football League season.[6] York's first play-off success came in 1992–93, when they beat Crewe Alexandra 5–3 in a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw after extra time at Wembley Stadium to win promotion into the Second Division.[7] 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.[8]

York were relegated into the Conference National after finishing bottom of the Third Division in 2003–04, ending 75 years of League membership.[9] The play-off semi-final was reached in 2006–07, where York were beaten 2–1 on aggregate by Morecambe.[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 next season saw York reach the 2010 Conference Premier play-off Final at Wembley, where they were beaten 3–1 by Oxford United.[12] 2011–12 concluded with two victories at Wembley; after Newport County were defeated 2–0 in the 2012 FA Trophy Final,[13] York's Football League status was restored with a 2–1 victory over Luton Town in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off Final.[14]

As at the end of 2014–15, the club's first team had spent two seasons in the second tier of English football, thirty-eight in the third, thirty-one in the fourth and fifteen 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 appearance in the Midland League in 1922–23.
