The club formed in 1886 as the parish club of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Roath. Although the founding year of 1886 is an approximated date accepted by the club, it is not until 1888 that the first recorded match can be found. This is recorded in the regional newspaper, the Western Mail, and was against St. Margarets, also of Roath.
