AFC Rushden & Diamonds is an English semi-professional football club based in Rushden, Northamptonshire. The club was formed in 2011 as a result of the merger between Rushden & Diamonds FC and AFC Rushden & Diamonds, and currently plays in the Southern League Premier Division Central. The club’s origins date back to 1992, when Rushden & Diamonds FC was formed and went on to achieve success in non-league football, winning numerous titles and promotions.

However, financial difficulties forced the club into administration in 2011, leading to the merger with AFC Rushden & Diamonds. Since then, AFC Rushden & Diamonds has built a strong following and has enjoyed relative success on the pitch, including winning the United Counties League Premier Division title in their first season. The club has a strong focus on youth development, with a thriving academy system and a commitment to promoting young players to the first team.
