Overview
Founded in 1899, AFC Bournemouth are a Dorset club whose identity is rooted in Boscombe and the wider seaside town of Bournemouth. Known as the Cherries, they spent most of their history outside the top division before establishing a national profile. Their home is Dean Court, also widely known as the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth's honours are modest by top-flight standards, but include an EFL Championship title and lower-division success that marked the club's rise through the English pyramid. The long association with Eddie Howe is central to their modern history, linking a former player with the managerial era that took the club to the Premier League.
