Evesham United FC was founded shortly after World War II by returning servicemen, replacing the town's earlier club Evesham Town, who had reached the FA Amateur Cup final in 1923. The new club started life in the Worcester League before switching to the Worcestershire Combination in 1951, winning the league title in their second season in the league. After a second title win in 1955 they switched to the Birmingham & District League.
In 1962 the club left the Birmingham League and, after a short spell in the Warwickshire League, rejoined the Worcestershire Combination, which was renamed the Midland Combination soon afterwards, and in which they were to remain until 1992. During this time they claimed three more league titles, after the last of which they stepped up to the Southern League. In the 2004-05 season former Coventry City player David Busst led them to promotion to the Premier Division but the club was relegated straight back down after just one season.
The club initially played at Crown Meadow but in 1968 moved to Common Road. In 2006 they sold this ground off for housing and are ground-sharing with Worcester City while a new purpose-built stadium is constructed on the outskirts of the town.
