Prestatyn Town Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl Droed Tref Prestatyn) is a Welsh football club based in Prestatyn, Denbighshire.

History

Prestatyn Town played their first game on 20 October 1910 when they travelled to Rhyl Amateurs, winning 3–2.[1] Until the 2007–08 season, the club played in the Cymru Alliance, North Wales' feeder league to the Welsh Premier League.

After winning the league title in 2007–08, the club was promoted to the Welsh Premier League for the 2008–09 season. Their promotion was dependent on their ground, Bastion Road, meeting certain criteria, meaning that stadium had to be upgraded by 1 May 2008.[2] The club installed floodlights[3] and their promotion to the Welsh Premier League was ratified. The club maintained Premier League status for a second season with a 15th-place finish in 2008–09.

In 2013 the club won the Welsh Cup for the first time beating Bangor City 3–1 after extra time. In July 2013 they reached the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League only to lose to Croatian side HNK Rijeka, thus missing out on the group stages.
