Club history
A team named Llanfair Rovers appears as early as 1897.[2] In 1899 they entered the North Wales Coast League and had a good season, playing 23 matches; winning 10, drawing 5 and losing 8.
They have been champions of the Welsh Alliance League in the 1987–88 season and the 2000–01 season. They have been runners-up four times.[3] They also played Football League opposition in the Welsh Cup in the form of Shrewsbury Town in 1987,[4] losing 1–0 at Caernarfon Town.[5]
The name of the football club is also known to be the longest football club name in the world.[6]
In September 2023 La Liga announced they are the new shirt sponsor of the team, signing a one-year deal.[7] In 2025 they agreed a three year shirt sponsorship deal with Mastercard.[8]
New ground
The club had played at Y Gors until moving to Maes Eilian for the 2008–09 season.[9]
