The club was established in 1963 as the works team of the Blakeborough Valve Company.[2] They joined the Huddersfield Works League in the same year,[1] going on to win the league title in 1966–67, 1968–69, 1973–74 and 1974–75, as well as winning the League Cup and Halifax District Cup in 1968–69.[2] In 1975 they moved up to the West Riding County Amateur League.
In 1988 the club adopted its current name after the company closed down.[2] They won Division One in 1988–89 and went on to win the Premier Division in 1990–91 and the West Riding County Challenge Cup in 1991–92, before winning back-to-back Premier Division titles in 1994–95 and 1995–96, also winning the League Cup and Bob Wedgeworth Memorial Trophy in the latter season.[2] They went on to win the Premier Division again in 2000–01 and 2001–02.[3] Despite only finishing eighth in 2007–08,[3] the club were promoted to Division One of the Northern Counties East League.[4] After finishing as Division One runners-up in 2009–10, they were promoted to the Premier Division.[4]
Brighouse won the Premier Division in 2013–14, earning promotion to Division One North of the Northern Premier League.[4] Prior to the 2018–19 season the club were transferred to Division One East as part of league reorganisation. They went on to finish third, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After defeating Sheffield 3–1 in the semi-finals, they beat Pontefract Collieries 3–0 in the final. However, with only five of the seven play-offs winners being promoted based on their points-per-game ranking over the season, Brighouse were one of the two clubs to miss out.[5]

The club initially played at Woodhouse Recreation Ground, before moving to Green Lane in Hove Edge.[2] When Green Lane was used for housing, the club moved to St Giles Road.[2] The ground currently has a capacity of 1,000, of which 100 is seated and 200 covered.[1]
