Mirfield United Football Club were a semi-professional football team who were founded 1898[1] and were founding members of the Yorkshire Combination when it started in 1910-11. Whilst playing in this league they were pitted against the likes of York City, Scarborough and Halifax Town. Notable teams that played their reserves within the league include Bradford City and Bradford (Park Avenue).[1] Their highest placed finish within the league was 3rd place, missing out by goal-difference on two occasions. They enjoyed considerable success in tournaments, winning the West Riding Junior Cup more than once, and competing in the FA Cup on numerous occasions. One such occasion of competing in the FA Cup was when they were knocked out in the 2nd qualifying round, losing the match 3-1 to Bradford City in the 1903–04 FA Cup.[2] Like many other football clubs at the time, it was disbanded at the outbreak of World War I.
