Mansfield F.C. was an English football club based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

History

The club was formed as Mansfield Town in 1885[1] and joined the Midland League in 1892.[2] In 1894 they absorbed Greenhalgh's FC and dropped Town from their name. They spent four years in the league before resigning because of financial difficulties. They folded soon after.
