In 2016–17 the team won its first national title.{{cite web | url=https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/fussball-allgemein/der-fc-neunkirch-gewinnt-das-double | title=Der FC Neunkirch gewinnt das Double | publisher=srf.ch | date=3 June 2017 | accessdate=4 June 2017 | language=German}}
History
The football club was founded in 1963. A women's team only started playing in the league system in 2006.{{cite web | url=http://www.watson.ch/!521157360 | title=Ein Dorfklub erobert die Schweiz, aber die Unschlagbaren sorgen auch für Ärger |publisher=Watson| date=7 November 2016 | accessdate=8 November 2016 | language=German}} After four promotions in the next seven years the team reached the top level Nationalliga A.
The team ended the 2013–14 season in fourth place, third in the next season, and finished runners-up to Zürich in 2015–16.
In 2015 FC Neunkirch reached the semi-final of the Swiss Women's Cup. The team was leading FC Basel 1–0 when they were reduced to 10 players after their goalkeeper was shown a red card after 16 minutes. They eventually lost 2–1.{{cite web|title=Basel und Zürich stehen im Cupfinal|url=http://www.frauenfussballmagazin.ch/2015/03/basel-und-zuerich-stehen-im-cupfinal/|publisher=frauenfussballmagazin.ch|accessdate=16 September 2015|language=German|date=1 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304051738/http://www.frauenfussballmagazin.ch/2015/03/basel-und-zuerich-stehen-im-cupfinal/|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}
After ten out of ten wins in the 2016–17 season they stood in first place. The team received some criticism for their lack of youth teams and because only 4 players from a 21-woman squad were Swiss. They finished the season as champions and also won the 2017 cup final.{{Cite web |url=http://www.frauenfussballmagazin.ch/2017/06/neunkirch-holt-das-double/ |title=Neunkirch holt das Double, Yverdon gerettet |access-date=2017-06-07 |archive-date=2017-06-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170609043036/http://www.frauenfussballmagazin.ch/2017/06/neunkirch-holt-das-double/ |url-status=dead }}
Days after winning the double, the club withdrew their team from the Nationalliga A.{{Cite web|url=https://www.blick.ch/sport/fussball/nach-finanzskandal-um-sportchef-beat-s-double-gewinner-neunkirch-zieht-sich-zurueck-id6796628.html|title = Nach Finanzskandal um Sportchef Beat S.: Double-Gewinner Neunkirch zieht sich zurück!|date = 7 June 2017}} Estimated costs of over €500,000 for the next season proved too much for the club.
