List of Hapoel Herzliya F.C. seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Hapoel Herzliya Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1934–35 (when the club first competed in the Cup) to the most recent completed season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in the Israeli league that season. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

The club had played in the Palestine League from 1938 to 1947. After the establishment of Israel, the club mostly played in lower divisions.

History

Hapoel Herzliya Sports Club was established in 1928,[1] playing its first recorded football matches in November 1931.[2] The club won the second division in 1937 and was promoted to the top division, where the club played until relegating at the end of the 1946–47 season, after which the club slipped down the divisions, reaching bottom division Liga Gimel in 1956. The club played in second division Liga Alef between 1963 and 1976, but once again relegated, reaching its lowest ever placing, playing in fifth division Liga Bet in 1999–2000. The club managed to return to the second division in 2010.
