Reigate Priory's history can be traced right back to 1870, not long after the FA was actually formed in 1863. In 1870, the club was one of only 15 teams that contested for a £20 silver trophy, the first ever FA Challenge Cup competition.

Reigate Priory were also present when the Surrey FA (founded in 1887) decided to become affiliated to the FA on the 16th March 1882. The club was one of the original 10 teams present at the meeting that took place in Guildford. At the same time a County Senior Cup competition was introduced. The first winners of the Senior Cup were Reigate Priory who were victorious six times before the end of the century. For the season 2007/08 the club will run nine teams,five senior teams and four junior teams. The junior teams have fed the men's teams with many of our exciting young players. Each year we welcome new members to Reigate Priory, so if you are interested in joining an established, friendly and sociable club then please don't hesitate to contact us.
