The club plays at [[Latham Park]], [[Newtown, Powys|Newtown]], which accommodates 5,000 spectators.

== History ==

The club has its origins in two previous clubs, both active from 1875; '''[[Newtown F.C. (1875–79)|Newtown]]''' and '''[[White Stars F.C.|White Stars]]'''.  The latter won the [[1878–79 Welsh Cup]] and in the aftermath an attempt was made to merge the clubs under the name '''[[Newtown Excelsior F.C.|Excelsior]]'''.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Newtown clubs |journal=Wrexham Guardian and Denbighshire and Flintshire Advertiser |date=13 September 1879 |page=8}}</ref>  The Newtown club folded into the Excelsior, but White Stars continued, and absorbed the Excelsior in 1880.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Civil Service v White Stars, Newtown |journal=Wrexham Advertiser |date=6 November 1880 |page=8}}</ref>  After losing the [[1880–81 Welsh Cup]] final, the White Stars disbanded; but a meeting at the Lion Hotel on 23 July 1884 re-established a Newtown association football club, featuring many of the players and officials who had been involved with the White Stars, and, in some cases, with the original Newtown club beforehand.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Establishment of football club |journal=Montgomeryshire Express |date=29 July 1884 |page=5}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=Newtown v West Bromwich Albion |journal=Wrexham Advertiser |date=18 October 1884 |page=3}}</ref>

The revived club won the [[1894–95 Welsh Cup]], beating [[Wrexham A.F.C.|Wrexham]] 3–2 at [[Welshpool]], despite Goodwin in goal being ordered off for retaliation before the second half (while Newtown was 2–1 down),<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Welsh Football Cup |journal=Montgomeryshire Echo |date=20 April 1895 |page=5}}</ref> but in July 1900 it lost the use of the Cunnings, and, with diminished gates and additional expenses, there were fears for the future of the club.<ref>{{Cite news |date=21 July 1900 |title=Newtown Football Club |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0001893/19000721/081/0005 |work=Montgomeryshire Echo |pages=5}}</ref> Another article from March 1901 referred to Newtown being defunct, and hoped that Newtown Excelsior would resuscitate the club.<ref>{{Cite news |date=30 March 1901 |title=Football Notes |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000907/19010330/145/0006 |access-date=11 April 2024 |work=Montgomery County Times and Shropshire and Mid-Wales Advertiser |pages=6}}</ref> Newtown North End and [[Royal Welsh Warehouse F.C.|Royal Welsh Warehouse Newtown]] emerged in the town in their place.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Montgomeryshire & District League Tables 1904-05 |url=https://www.welshsoccerarchive.co.uk/leagues_montgomery.php?season_id=1 |access-date=2024-04-11 |website=www.welshsoccerarchive.co.uk}}</ref> In 1910, they were still inactive.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Newtown |date=1910-03-29 |work=The Montgomeryshire Express and Radnor Times |url=https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3868819/3868824/70/%22newtown%20football%22 |access-date=2024-04-11 |via=newspapers.library.wales}}</ref> No records exist of Newtown Football Club again until 1919.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Football |date=1919-09-19 |work=Llangollen Advertiser Denbighshire Merionethshire and North Wales Journal |url=https://newspapers.library.wales/view/4245402/4245404/2/%22newtown%20football%22 |access-date=2024-04-11 |via=newspapers.library.wales}}</ref>

For most of the years since the 1920s the club operated in the ''Mid-Wales League'', or the ''Central Wales League'' as it was sometimes known, winning the championship in 1975–76, 1978–79, 1981–82, 1986–87 and 1987–88 and on the strength of this record, the club gained entry to the English league system in the Northern Premier League.

In 1992 the club became rather reluctant founder members of the [[League of Wales]]. Since then it has finished runners-up in the league in both 1995–96 and 1997–98, and subsequently played UEFA cup ties against [[Skonto FC|Skonto Riga]] of [[Latvia]] and [[Wisła Kraków]] of [[Poland]].

Newtown Association Football Club are one of the oldest clubs in Wales, being formed in 1875 and are one of the founder members of the FAW. In addition, the club was also one of the founder members of the League of Wales, now known as the [[Cymru Premier]].

The club has a long and proud tradition with the move in the late 1980s into the Northern Premier League being part of the progressive nature of the club.

Way back in 1877, Newtown took part in the first Welsh Cup tie on Saturday 13 October against Druids of [[Ruabon]]. [[Cefn Druids]] now former members of the Welsh Premier are derived from this club. [[Wrexham A.F.C.|Wrexham]] went on to win the competition but in the following season, Newtown White Stars beat the favourites Wrexham 2–1 in [[Oswestry]] and became the first club to receive the famous trophy, which had only been purchased a few months earlier. In December 1895 Newtown travelled to play [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] at [[Maine Road]] and shocked the City team by winning 3–2. Newtown's W. Parry scored all three goals for the Robins.<ref>http://welsh-premier.com/rel_club.php?cid=13. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924150803/http://welsh-premier.com/rel_club.php?cid=13 |date=2016-09-24 }}</ref>

In 2014 Newtown became the second [[Cymru Premier]] club, after [[The New Saints F.C.|The New Saints]], to change their grass turf for a 3G pitch. During the 2014–15 season Newtown finished in the top six for the second consecutive season. They also took part in their first [[Welsh Cup]] final in 118 Years after memorable wins against [[Caersws F.C.|Caersws]], [[Bangor City F.C.|Bangor]] and [[Rhyl F.C.|Rhyl]]. However they lost the match 2–0 to The New Saints, despite it being played at [[Latham Park]] in front of a capacity crowd. After the cup final defeat, Newtown entered the European play-offs. During the play-offs, they won away at [[Port Talbot Town F.C.|Port Talbot Town]] and won away at [[Aberystwyth Town F.C.|Aberystwyth Town]] to take a spot in the 2015–16 Europa League qualifiers.

In July 2015 Newtown faced [[Malta|Maltese]] opponents [[Valletta F.C.|Valletta]] in the first round of qualifying for the [[2015-16 Europa League]]. A last minute winner in the 1st leg at Latham Park gave the club their first European win and was followed with an away victory giving Newtown their first Europa League Win over two legs. Newtown faced Danish giants [[Fc copenhagen|Copenhagen]] in the second round and were defeated over both legs losing 5–1 on aggregate. Newtown finished in the top 6 again during the following [[2015-16 Welsh Premier League]] season and were also the only team to beat The New Saints at [[Park Hall (football ground)|Park Hall]], but eventually lost at home to [[Airbus UK Broughton F.C.|Airbus UK Broughton]] in the play-off semi final. Newtown again reached the play-offs after finishing 7th in the [[2016-17 Welsh Premier League]] season, but were beaten 3–2 away to [[Bangor City F.C.|Bangor City]].

On 13 April 2025, after the most dreadful season Newtown lost 3–2 against [[Aberystwyth F.C.|Aberystwyth]] and were relegated for the first time in their history.
