Aylesbury United FC, nicknamed The Ducks, is the town's senior football club and plays in the Southern League Division One Central. The club was formed in 1897 from a merger of three local sides, Night School, The Printing Works and Aylesbury Town. Its history includes a 1988 friendly against England and a win over Southend United in the 1989-90 FA Cup; the club's record attendance is 7,440, set at a 1951-52 FA Cup tie against Watford.
Aylesbury United's former ground, Buckingham Road, was lost when the site's lease expired in 2006. Since then the club has groundshared at several venues, including spells in Leighton Buzzard and Thame, before returning to Chesham's The Meadow in 2017, where it remains. The Aylesbury United Supporters' Trust took control of the club in 2009, and the club continues to campaign under the banner #BringTheDucksHome to one day return to a ground in the town.
Aylesbury United acts as an umbrella club, with sections covering men's football, women's football, junior age groups, and walking football, alongside the senior first team.
