Plymouth United Football Club was a football club from Plymouth, Devon, England formed at least by 1886.[1]
As a pioneering club in Devon it played against Argyle Football Club in its first season and was a founding member of the Devon County Football Association.[2]
A team called Plymouth United was formed in 1944, along with Plymouth City, made up of ex-Plymouth Argyle and local amateurs. They played against local sides and service teams helping to re-establish football in the area.[3] A team of the same name entered the FA Cup in 1946, 1947 and 1950, failing to win a match.[4]
