Heywood F.C. was an English association football club based in Heywood, Lancashire. The club was a founder member of the Lancashire League in 1889. In the 1891–92 season, Heywood made their first appearance in the FA Cup, reaching the Second Qualifying Round. They left the Lancashire League in 1892 after finishing bottom of the table with only one win from 22 matches. The club then folded and were re-formed 5 years later in 1897, mainly from the recently folded Heywood Rovers setup.[1]
The new Heywood FC did join the Lancashire Combination in 1902 and finished 12th in the division. However, the following season Heywood left the league midway through the campaign and their records were expunged.
