Invergordon Football Club is a senior football club from Invergordon in the Scottish Highlands. It plays at the Recreation Grounds and currently competes in the North Caledonian Football League though it has applied to move up to the Highland Football League.
Although the exact year the club was formed is unknown, the first mentions of an Invergordon Football Club are made in local newspapers around 1870. Invergordon were founder members of the Ross-shire Junior FA in 1894 and first competed for silverware for the Ross-shire Junior Cup in 1895.
They remained regular competitors in the Ross-shire Junior ranks either side of the First World War.
Invergordon joined the North of Scotland Junior FA (later renamed to the North Caledonian League) immediately after the Second World War, winning the league championship in their first season. By the 1950s, they had attained full membership and have remained members of the league (with the exception of a handful of seasons) since that time.
In June 2022, following their North Caledonian League victory, it was announced that they would be making their debut appearance in the Scottish Cup preliminary round, being the first North Caledonian League side other than Golspie Sutherland to get the chance to participate in the trophy, losing 5âÂÂ1 at the Global Energy Stadium to Newtongrange Star.
In February 2026, following their league title win, and with ground improvements underway, Invergordon officially applied to join the Highland League, as no other club feeder league side is eligible for promotion (other than Golspie Sutherland), and Brechin City moving to the Lowland League East for the 2026âÂÂ27 season, regardless of final positioning, leaving the Highland League with only 17 teams, or 16 should the title winners gain promotion into the SPFL. In March 2026, they were officially granted an SFA Entry licence, making the club eligible for the Highland League Playoff.
The club's original ground was the old "Blackpark" (now part of Invergordon Distillery), before they moved to their current playing field at the town's Recreation Grounds.
In January 2025, the club applied for planning permission to upgrade the ground, including building a stand, floodlights, dugouts and a fence.
Invergordon were originally known as the "Maroons" with their first kit donated by Plymouth Argyle. Their colours have been changed on several occasions before settling on yellow and royal blue for a number of years. In 2016, the club adopted new club colours of white and blue.
Following the conclusion of the 2020âÂÂ21 season, it was decided that the winners of the North Caledonian League would earn the ability to play in the Scottish Cup regardless of SFA licensing starting in season 2021âÂÂ22. Invergordon were the first to achieve this feat, having narrowly beaten Loch Ness to the title, they again achieved this feat in the 2023âÂÂ24 season, again, narrowly beating Loch Ness.
On 9 August 2025, Invergordon got their first win, beating South of Scotland League side, Lochar Thistle 3âÂÂ1, at the Global Energy Stadium, setting up another home tie, this time against East of Scotland Premier Division side, Dunipace. On 30 August, Invergordon qualified for the First round proper for the first time, after beating Dunipace with an injury time equaliser from Torran Lambie, before securing his hattrick in the 116th minute, in a 3âÂÂ1 win in Dingwall.
