Brigg Town Football Club, formed in 1864, are a football team from Brigg, North Lincolnshire. They are the oldest football team in the county and one of the oldest in the world. They currently play the the Northern Premier League Division One South, the 4th tier of the National League System and the 8th tier of the English football league system.
Known as the Zebras, they wear black and white as home colours and have in recent years played in the Northern Counties East League. Champions of the league in the 2000/2001 season, they were denied promotion to the Unibond Northern Premier League because improvements to their ground were not completed before the deadline. They were runners-up the two following years but only the champions of the NCE League are promoted as a rule. However, after finishing third in the 2003/2004 season they were promoted as a part of the National League System restructuring.
On the national level Brigg Town have won the FA Vase twice, in 1996 and 2003, under longtime manager Ralph Clayton. In the 2001/2002 FA Cup, they defeated eventual Nationwide Conference champions Boston United before being beaten by Tranmere Rovers who ranked five levels above them on the football pyramid.
