There was a Borth team competing in the Aberystwyth Junior League in the 1897–98 season.[2]

A football club in Borth was founded in 1908, playing at the Ynys Field.[3]

Borth United were founding members of the Aberystwyth & District League in 1934.[4] The club folded in 2001.[5]

A new club was founded in 2009.[6] In the 2013–14 season, they won the Aberystwyth League title.[7] and were promoted into the Mid Wales Football League Division Two. In the 2016–17 season, Borth United were promoted to Division One, but finished 16th out of 16 the following season and were relegated back to Division Two.[8]
