Reaching the final of the 1975–76 Scottish Junior Cup (beaten 3–0 by Bo'ness United) has been the most illustrious point in the club's history. Since a closely fought challenge with Largs Thistle for the 1993–94 Division Two title, in which Largs eventually won on goal difference, Darvel have found success a little hard to come by.
