The club was founded in 1954, by youth from
De Laar, a hamlet just east of Bennekom. The club quickly rose through the ranks of amateur football in the Netherlands, and won promotion to the
Hoofdklasse in 1974, just after moving to a new ground in Bennekom itself. In the Hoofdklasse, Bennekom won two league titles, in 1981-82 and in 1987–88, and finished tied on first place in 1980-81 and in 1989–90, losing the decisive match in both cases. The club was relegated to the
Eerste Klasse (First Class) in 1991, but secured promotion back to the Hoofdklasse after only one season. Bennekom won the
KNVB District Cup of the district East of the
Royal Dutch Football Association in 1998-99 and in 2003–04. Bennekom defeated professional side
TOP Oss in the first round of the
KNVB Cup 2003-04. In the second round,
Willem II proved too strong. In 2016 it relegated from the
Hoofdklasse to the
Eerste Klasse. == References==
