Annbank United F.C.

Annbank United Football Club are a Scottish football club from Annbank, South Ayrshire. Formed in 1939, they are based at New Pebble Park and are nicknamed "The Bankies". Prior to abeyance, they competed in the West of Scotland League Second Division and wear black and white strips (uniforms). The club reached the final of the 1952–53 Scottish Junior Cup, losing 1–0 to Vale of Leven in front of 55,800 spectators at Hampden Park.

In June 2016, Annbank appointed Graeme Neil and Tom Robertson of the Ayr United Football Academy as their new management team. The duo had worked the previous season at Lugar Boswell Thistle, bringing Ayr's pro-youth players into an adult game environment. On 14 May 2021 Annbank announced on their Twitter account that they would suspend their participation in the newly formed West of Scotland Football League for season 2021-22 whilst retaining full membership, but hoped to return in the next season. In the interim, the club started in the Ayrshire Amateur Division 2A (Winners 2021/22) & are now in Division 1A for Season 2022/23. They continue to play out of New Pebble Park. Annbank won the Ayrshire Premier League title in 2024/25, going through the season unbeaten. They won every league match except for their final one which they drew 1-1 against Glenburn (losing a goal in the last few minutes after a highly contentious throw in decision).
