They compete in Division 5 of the South West Wales ASDA League. The nucleus of the Ponty team are youngsters. The two head coaches are Mal Jones and Steve Rees and Team Manager is Mark Jones. Captain for the season 2006/7 is Nigel Williams.
Over the years Pontardawe RFC has produced a number of first-class rugby players and coaches. In 2007 they celebrate their 125th year of being a Welsh Rugby Union member club.
In May 2006 Pontardawe RFC were one of the 13 'Rebel' clubs who brought a vote of no confidence against the Welsh Rugby Union, which centered around financing and the handling of former coach Mike Ruddock's departure. The vote failed heavily with only 20 votes for the motion and over 300 against.[2]
