New Milton Town Football Club is a football club based in New Milton, Hampshire, England. They are currently members of the and play at Fawcetts Field.
History
The club was established in 1998 under the name Lymington & New Milton as a merger of AFC Lymington from the Wessex League and New Milton Town from Division Two of the Hampshire League, with the new club playing at New Milton Town's Fawcetts Field ground. The amalgamation of the two clubs also led to the formation of Lymington Town, who entered Division Three of the Hampshire League, and a new New Milton club based in Milford-on-Sea, who joined Division Two for a single season before folding. In their first season, Lymington & New Milton retained the Wessex League title won by AFC Lymington in 1997–98. However, they were unable to take promotion as their ground failed to meet the requirements. They were runners-up in the league in each of the next two seasons, making another failed application for promotion in 1999–2000.
In 2004–05 Lymington & New Milton were Wessex League champions, earning promotion to Division One of the Isthmian League. The 2024–25 season saw the club win the Division One title, earning promotion back to the Premier Division.
Ground
The club play at Fawcetts Field on Christchurch Road. The ground has a cantilever seated stand on one side of the pitch, with the other three sides left undeveloped. It has a capacity of 3,000, of which 262 is seated.
