Nicknamed The Vics, the club were formed in 1944 and currently play at New Voluntary Park, Whitletts, near Ayr town centre. In February 2011, the club were forced to leave their traditional home of Voluntary Park in Whitletts, which doubled up as a greyhound racing track, after the local council closed the stadium. The stadium has since been demolished and is now the site of a new social housing complex named Victoria Crescent, after the club. Since then, the club has returned home to Whitletts to their new purpose built stadium at New Voluntary Park.

History

On the park, the greatest era in the club's history was the mid- to late 1950s. In 1956 the club played in front of 20,100 people at Shawfield Stadium in the semi-final of the Scottish Junior Cup, only to lose 3–2 to eventual winners Petershill. However, in 1957-58 the Club won the Western League (South) Championship, losing out to North Champions Irvine Meadow in the play-off to determine the destination of the league championship itself.

In recent years, developments on and off the park have placed the club on a strong foundation. In 2017–18 the Club won promotion to the newly formed West Region Championship and in 2018 formed its own charity, Vics in the Community, providing free coaching to local youngsters and starting the development of a youth player pathway.

In 2020, the club took the decision after 75 years of membership of the SJFA, to join the pyramid system in Scottish football as one of the inaugural members of the West of Scotland Football League.

On 10 October 2020, the club announced they would not be participating in the inaugural season of the West of Scotland League due to concerns relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the 22 November 2025, the club won the Strathclyde Cup, its first piece of silverware in 35 years, beating Campbeltown Pupils 7-0.
