Coventry Sphinx Football Club is a football club based in Coventry, West Midlands, England. They are currently members of the Northern Premier League Division One Midlands and play at Sphinx Drive.
History
The club was established in 1946 as a works team for Armstrong Siddeley under the name Armstrong Siddeley Motors Football Club. In 1960 they were renamed Sphinx Football Club. The club were founder members of the Coventry Alliance and remained in the league until moving up to Division Two of the Midland Combination in 1993. They finished fourth in their first season in the league, earning promotion to Division One. The club went on to finish as runners-up in Division One in 1994–95, and were promoted to the Premier Division, at which point they adopted their current name.
Coventry Sphinx were Premier Division runners-up in 1995–96 and again in 2001–02, a season which also saw them win the league's Challenge Cup. They went on to finish as runners-up in consecutive seasons in 2004–05 (also winning the Challenge Cup again) and 2005–06 before winning the Premier Division title in 2006–07, earning promotion to the Midland Alliance. In 2009–10 the club won the Midland Alliance League Cup, beating Westfields 3–1 in the final. When the league merged with the Midland Combination in 2014 to form the Midland League in 2014, the club became members of the Premier Division.
At the end of the 2020–21 season Coventry Sphinx were transferred to the Premier Division South of the United Counties League. They were Premier Division South champions in 2022–23, earning promotion to Division One Midlands of the Northern Premier League.
O clube foi fundado por um grupo de estudantes da Sphinx Works, uma fábrica de máquinas costureiras, e inicialmente jogou em ligas amadoras locais. Em 1894, o Sphinx ingressou na Midland League, uma liga regional que na época era considerada a segunda divisão do futebol inglês. O clube ficou na liga por 14 temporadas, até ser rebaixado em 1908.
Após o rebaixamento, o Sphinx passou a jogar em várias ligas amadoras e semiprofissionais. Em 1960, o clube foi eleito para a recém-criada Southern Football League, que na época era a sexta divisão do futebol inglês. O Sphinx ficou na liga por 10 temporadas, até ser rebaixado em 1970.
Em 1972, o Sphinx foi eleito para a Midland Football Alliance, uma liga regional que na época era a sétima divisão do futebol inglês. O clube ficou na liga por 12 temporadas, até ser promovido à Southern Football League em 1984.
O Sphinx ficou na Southern Football League por 23 temporadas, até ser rebaixado em 2007. Em 2010, o clube foi eleito para a Northern Premier League Division One Midlands, onde joga até hoje.
O Sphinx nunca venceu um título nacional, mas ganhou a Midland League Cup em 1905 e a Southern Football League Cup em 1993.
