Boreham Wood Football Club celebrated its Sixtieth Anniversary Season in 2008/09, having been formed in 1948, following the amalgamation of Boreham Rovers and Royal Retournez.
In its formative years the club progressed through the Mid-Herts League, Parthenon League, Spartan League, and Athenian League before joining the Isthmian Football League in 1974/75. It won the Division Two Championship in 1976/77 by sixteen points. The club had a five season spell in the Premier Division during the late seventies and early eighties, and enjoyed another much more succesful spell in the Premier Division, during the nineties, which sadly ended in relegation at the end of the 1999/2000 season. However, the club bounced back quickly and was once again promoted back to the Premier Division as the Ryman Football League Division One Champions in 2000/01.Over the years the club has had many successes in FA Cup Competitions, as well as in the Hertfordshire and London FA Senior Challenge Cups. Boreham Wood also reached the final of the Isthmian League Full Members Cup in 1994/95 and 1995/96 and won the Isthmian League Cup in 1996/97.During the last twenty years the clubs stadium facilities have been continually upgraded, and a Football Conference Grading was achieved in 1996. The club has, throughout the present Chairmans tenure spent a further £5.5 million pounds upgrading all areas, including - new changing rooms, a state of the art artificial pitch, classrooms, new kitchens, and new function rooms.Following the Football Association restructuring of Non-League Football in 2004, Boreham Wood have competed in the Southern Football League Division One East for two seasons, winning the championship in 2005/06. As a result the club returned to play in the Ryman Football League Premier Division in the 2006/07 season. In the FA Challenge Trophy the Club also reached the Semi-Finals in 2005/06.

The Youth Policy introduced by our present Chairman in 2000/2001 and the introduction of the Clubs PASE Scheme (Programme for Academic and Sporting Excellence) has brought a renewed freshness to the club, and with ever spiralling playing costs at this level, the way forward will be producing young talent of its own to complement the more experienced members of the playing staff. A reserve team was once again re-introduced in 2006/07 and competes in the Suburban League. This allows the club to give their youth team the experience of men’s football that they need to act as a stepping stone to the first team.

A new Meadow Park ground record attendance was set on Friday 13th July 2001, when 4,030 spectators watched a very strong Arsenal side beat Boreham Wood 0-2 in a Pre-Season Friendly Match. Francis Jeffers and Dennis Bargkamp scored the Gunners Goals.

With the building completed on a full sized, state of the art Artificial Training Pitch and Changing Rooms, the future is now bright throughout the club. Boreham Wood will now hopefully push for Conference Football, with sound structures in place, and a club that utilises all its facilities 52 weeks of the year. The next three years could be the most exciting in the club history, and with a Conference Graded Stadium already in place, optimism is returning to Meadow Park.

That optimism was rewarded in season 2009/10 when the team after a long hard season finished 4th in its league campaign and took its place in the playoff’s. After defeating Aveley 1-0 in the Semi-Final, the club then went on to beat Kingstonian in the final of the Ryman Premier League Play Offs, to finally take its place in the Conference South for the first time in their 62 year history.

The Club played at the highest level in its sixty-two year history during the 2010/11 Season, and after a poor start recovered well to finish fourteenth in the table.    It now looks forward to a more successful Season in 2011/12.
