History
The earliest known football match involving a Caersws team was on 24 December 1877, between Caersws Red Rose and Newtown Blue Stars. Two days later, Caersws British played the Newtown Blue Stars second team.
Although founded in the late 19th century, the club enjoyed little if any success until the 1960s when it won the Mid Wales League in 1959–60, 1960–61, and 1962–63, and appeared in three Welsh Amateur Cup finals, winning the cup in 1960–61. They also won the cup (now renamed the Welsh Intermediate Cup) in 1989. In the league, the team's fortunes waned until they won the title again in 1978, and four more times before they were invited to join the Cymru Alliance in 1990. In 1992 they became founder members of the League of Wales.
In 2010 they were relegated from the Welsh Premier League and rejoined the Cymru Alliance. In 2018 they rejoined the Mid Wales League after a further relegation. In 2020 they were founding members of the third-tier Ardal North East. They were promoted to the Cymru North in 2023.
