The club was founded in 1888 and is one of the oldest clubs in Cheshire, and indeed, within the north of England.
After great success in the 1950’s and 60’s, the club slipped somewhat in the late 70’s and 80’s. Investment in a youth policy and the club’s joint venture with the nearby Birkenhead School to build its own astroturf pitch revitalised the club during the 1990’s.
In 1997, the previous club house at Oxton Cricket & Sports Club was opened after a massive fundraising effort and with the aid of National Lottery support. This coincided with the start of ladies hockey at Oxton. So successful have Oxton Ladies 1st XI been that they won 7 successive promotions and after playing in the North league last season are now playing Cheshire League Division 1. The club fields 4 ladies teams together with Colts and Under 15 XIs
