History

The team was formed in 2005 when a team called Woodley was renamed Northwich Villa when links were made with Northwich Victoria for the team to act as a feeder team.
The club entered the Cheshire Football League Division Two in 2005–06 and finished as runners up in the inaugural season. Consequently, the team was promoted to Division One, which the team won in 2008–09. The team was runner-up the following year.
The team finished 9th in the 2010–11 season and had a successful application to join the North West Counties Football League Division One.
After two seasons in the North West Counties League and a relocation to Flixton, the club adopted the name of Northwich Flixton Villa in 2013.
The club finished the 2013–14 season in one of the two relegation places, but was not relegated due to a surplus of spaces at level 10. In the summer of 2015, the club was renamed again, to Northwich Manchester Villa when it relocated to the Manchester Regional Arena. The club later folded in 2016.
