The same Oxford University team that won the cup never stopped existing, though it seems they don't participate in the English football league system now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_A.F.C.
The other early winners, like Wanderers FC, Royal Engineers, and so on, all seem to have dissolved.
Fair enough. I thought Royal Engineers would be an army team and were therefore likely to have existed continuously.
I imagine that Old Etonians FC still exist as well?
Royal Engineers do appear to still exist, as do Old Etonians and Old Carthusians, but as far as I can tell none of them are part of the football pyramid any more.
The only one you could argue play at a lower level than Porstmouth is Wanderers FC: it was dissolved in 1887 but reformed in 2009, and they currently play in what appears to be the 17th level of the football league system.
