Llandudno Ladies Football Club are a Welsh women's association football club based in Llandudno Junction, Conwy County Borough. They currently play their home games at Maesdu Park and play in the Adran North.[1]
2021–present
Llandudno Ladies were founded as Llandudno Junction Ladies as they were affiliated to men's team Llandudno Junction. In 2010, Llandudno Junction Ladies were promoted into the Welsh Premier Women's League however they only lasted one season before being relegated.[2] In 2012, they were promoted back to the Welsh Premier Women's Football League due to the league expanding to twelve teams and becoming a fully national league.[3] In their debut season back in top flight, Llandudno set a Welsh record for the most goals scored in a top flight game in Wales by winning 23–0 against Caerphilly Castle F.C.[4]
In 2013, they adopted the name of MBi Llandudno Ladies due to sponsorship.[5] This was dropped in 2016 and the team name reverted to Llandudno Ladies.
In 2014, Llandudno Ladies moved to Maesdu Park due to changes in the Premier League's ground criteria and a new 3G pitch being installed,[6] and switched affiliation to the men's team Llandudno F.C. In 2016, Llandudno Ladies reached the FAW Women's Cup final against Cardiff City Ladies F.C. aiming to become the first North Wales team to win it since Bangor F.C. in 2002.[5]
Following the closure of Wrexham Ladies F.C. in 2016, Llandudno Ladies and Rhyl & Prestatyn Ladies F.C. were the only clubs from North Wales remaining in the Welsh Premier Women's Football League until the 2019–20 season.[7]
Llandudno Ladies began the 2019-20 season in the Welsh Women's Premier League, but withdrew in December 2019 citing a difficulty in recruiting and retaining players.[8][9] Their resignation request was accepted and as such their playing record in the 2019–20 season was expunged.
In 2021, the Welsh Women's Premier League was renamed the Adran Premier, and the second tier split into Adran North and Adran South. They returned to playing in the 2021-22 season, joining the Adran North, and winning their conference that season.[10] However they had not yet applied for a new Tier One license, so were not eligible for promotion to the Premier.
In the 2022-23 season, they came in third in the conference.[11][12]
In the 2023-24 season, Llandudno finished as champions of the Genero Adran North, however, they lost the promotion play-off 4-0 to Briton Ferry Llansawel and missed out on promotion to the Genero Adran Premier.
In the 2024-25 season, Llandudno failed to win the title, and finished 4th place in the Adran North, below Connah's Quay (1st place), Llanfair United (2nd Place) and Felinheli (3rd place).
