Established on 1st January, 1891, they currently compete in the Vanarama National League, which is part of the fifth tier of English football. The team calls Moss Lane their home ground.
In 2022, Altrincham announced a transition to full-time professional status, indicating a significant shift in its operational model. Historically, the club has experienced various promotions and relegations, highlighting its fluctuating performance in non-league football.
Off the pitch, the club has focused on community engagement and financial stability, involving no transfer fees for players under previous management.

This approach has helped maintain the club’s presence in non-league football while fostering community ties.
