The club was established in 1945 and initially played in the East Devon Victory League, before joining the Exeter & District League.[1] They were Division One champions in 1959–60,[2] earning promotion to the Premier Division. After finishing as Premier Division runners-up in their first season in the division, they went on to win the league title in 1961–62 and 1963–64.[3] However, they were relegated after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 1966–67.[3] After another relegation, the club were Division Two champions in 1972–73 and later won Division One again in 1978–79,[4][2] earning promotion back to the Premier Division of the renamed Devon & Exeter League and went on to win the East Devon Senior Cup in 1983–84.[5][1]
In 1993 Cullompton were founder members of the Devon County League.[6] They finished as runners-up in 1997–98 and again the following season, in which they also won the Devon Premier Cup.[6][7] In 2007 the league merged with the South Western League to form the South West Peninsula League, with the club placed in the Premier Division.[6] Although they finished bottom of the division in the league's first season, they were not relegated. Following league reorganisation at the end of the 2018–19 season, the club were placed in the Premier Division East.
