The current club was founded on 3 July 1977 as Portdinorwic Football Club, but there is evidence of teams in the village in 1890s,[3] 1920s and 1930s.[4] A club called Port Dinorwic won the Caernarfon & District League's Alves Cup in 1945–46. A team called Portdinorwic Football Club also played in the Caernarfon & District League for two seasons in the 1960s and used the same ground as the current club.
