History
The club was established in 1881.

After winning the division at the first attempt, they were promoted to Division One.[1] The club finished bottom of Division One in 2004–05, resulting in relegation back to Division Two. They left the league at the end of the 2008–09 season.[1]
Burnley Belvedere later joined the East Lancashire League, and were Division One champions in 2016–17.[2] They retained the league title the following season, after which they moved up to the Premier Division of the Lancashire Amateur League.[3]
