Carnarvon United Football Club was a football team from Caernarfon, Gwynedd. The club was formed in 1906 after a merger by Caernarvon Celts and Caernarvon RWF (Royal Welsh Fusiliers).[1] In 1909 the club won both the Welsh and North Wales Amateur Cups. The club also played in the Welsh Cup. After World War I, the demobilised United players formed a new club (Caernarvon Athletic), a precursor of the current club Caernarfon Town.
