History
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, though
only winning the cup in 1960-61. They won the cup (now renamed the Welsh
Intermediate Cup) in 1989. In the league, the teams 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.
Caersws won the League Cup in 2000-01 and 2001-02, and played in the
Intertoto Cup, being defeated 3-1 on aggregate by PFC Marek of Bulgaria.
