The 1894–95 season was the first season in which New Brompton F.C. (later re-named Gillingham F.C.) competed in a league competition. The club had been formed a year earlier but had played only friendlies and ties in the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup and FA Amateur Cup in the previous season.
Southern League
New Brompton joined the newly-formed Southern League. The club was placed in Division Two because it was one of the last to be invited to join the league and all the places in Division One had already been allocated.
