RHOS Aelwyd Football Club can trace its roots to half a dozen clubs.

Llanerchrugog is known to have existed in the late 19th century while Rhos Olympic, Rhos Early Crosses, Rhos Rangers and Rhos Church each represented the village.

Though the most successful club was Rhos Eagle Wanderers who won the Welsh Amateur Cup in 1898 and 1912 while a decade later the club won the Welsh League North.

The modern day club was founded in 1943 as a youth club before merging with Ponciau Alwyd Football Club in 1958.

Promotion from the second division of the Wrexham Area League followed in 1959 before lifting the first division championship in 1965.

However the club suffered a decline in fortunes and relegated to the second tier of the Wrexham League.

For the next two decades the club competed at various levels of the Wrexham League.

The club became founder members of the Cymru Alliance in 1992 before relegation in 1997.

Rhos consolidated in the Wrexham Area League before and went on to enjoy much success, claiming the title in 2006.
