The 1886–87 season was the fourth season Stoke took part the FA Cup. They were eliminated in the second round.
Season review Stoke's first FA Cup win finally arrived on 30 October 1886, when Welsh side Caernarfon Wanderers came to the Victoria Ground and were well beaten 10–1. But joy was short-lived as Crewe Alexandra again knocked Stoke out this time 6–4.
