The following are the association football related events of the decade 1860s around the world.

Events

*1860 — Lausanne Football and Cricket Club is founded, the oldest club in continental Europe to later play Association football. Other clubs founded in 1860 include Cray Wanderers, Hallam F.C. (local rivals of Sheffield F.C.), Wanderers F.C. (future FA Cup winners) and TSV 1860 München (although they would not play football until 1899).

*26 December 1860 — The first match between Sheffield F.C. and Hallam F.C., the oldest derby in football, takes place at Sandygate Road.

*1862 — An assistant teacher of Uppingham School, John Charles Thring, inspired by the Cambridge Rules, devised an influential code of football.

*1862 — The latest version of the Sheffield Rules include references to half-time and crossbars.

*1862 — The formation of Notts County, later regarded the oldest professional club to play Association football.

*1863, 26 October — The Football Association was founded at Freemason's Tavern, in Great Queen Street in London. The only school to be represented on this occasion was Charterhouse, although Westminster School also had a hand in the development of this set of rules. The Freemason's Tavern was the setting for five more meetings between October and December, which eventually produced the first comprehensive set of rules. At the final meeting, the first FA treasurer, who was the representative from Blackheath, withdrew his club from the FA over the removal of two draft rules at the previous meeting, the first which allowed for the running with the ball in hand and the second, obstructing such a run by hacking (kicking an opponent in the shins), tripping and holding. Other English rugby clubs followed this lead and did not join the FA but instead in 1871 formed the Rugby Football Union. The eleven remaining clubs, under the charge of Ebenezer Cobb Morley, went on to ratify the original fourteen rules of the game. Despite this, the Sheffield FA played by its own rules until the 1870s.

*1866, 31 March — A match takes place between the a FA representative side and Sheffield F.C. under FA rules. The FA side won by four touchdowns to nil.

*1867, 12 February — 5 March — Final of the Youdan Cup is played at Bramall Lane, the world's first ever organised tournament in any code of football. Twelve Sheffield clubs, using the Sheffield Rules, took part: Broomhall, Fir Vale, Garrick, Hallam F.C. (the winners), Heeley, Mackenzie, Mechanics, Milton, Norfolk, Norton, Pitsmoor and Wellington. British railway workers play Argentina's first recorded football match.

*March 1867 — Sheffield Football Association is formed with all the team that competed in the Youdan Cup being joined by Sheffield F.C. to becoming founder members.

*1868 — The corner kick is devised for use in the Sheffield Rules. It was adopted by the FA in 1872.

*1868, February — The second oldest football tournament in the world, the Cromwell Cup, also played under the Sheffield Rules, by four clubs: Sheffield Wednesday F.C. (the winners), Exchange, Garrick and Wellington.
