Honours
The current club was founded as Hotpoint FC in 1975, playing in the Old Colwyn and District Sunday League. After one season they joined the Vale of Conwy Football League in Saturday football. During the 1996–97 season the team moved to Llanfairfechan's Recreation Ground due to the limitations of the Victoria Drive ground. As a result, the team changed its name to Llanfairfechan Athletic.[2]
In 1998, the club returned to Llandudno Junction, to their current ground at The Flyover, which had previously been the home of Crosville. The team changed its name again, to Llandudno Junction FC, for the 1999–2000 season.[2]
In the 2008–09 season, the club won the Barritt Cup, and had in their squad future Wolves striker Jake Cassidy.[citation needed]
In 2017, Junction were promoted to the Cymru Alliance, the highest level they had ever played at.[3] However, they lasted only one season in the league before being relegated.[4] The following season (2018–19) they were again relegated, having finished bottom of Division 1 of the Welsh Alliance League.[5]
Since 2021 the team has played in the North Wales Coast East Football League Premier Division.[5]
