Established in 1976 as Cefn Cribwr Boys Club by Gary Davies,[1] the club began playing in the Bridgend & District League and were back-to-back Premier Division champions in the 1986–87 and 1987–88 seasons.

After successfully applying for a Tier 3 licence,[5] the club's promotion to the third tier of Welsh football was confirmed on 14 May 2022, after a 4–2 victory over Blaenrhondda saw the club finish as runners-up in the South Wales Alliance League Premier Division.

As a result of Cae Gof being deemed unsuitable for the Ardal Leagues,[6] the club's first team played at Cambrian & Clydach Vale for the 2022–23 and 2023–24 seasons, whilst improvements to the ground were made.

A successful crowdfunding campaign concluded in July 2022, raising the amount necessary to help the first team return to Cefn Cribwr.

After joining Cefn Cribwr in 1993, Scott Dryden (who became first team manager during the 2014–15 season) announced his departure after the team won the Ardal Southern League Cup.
