Nefyn United F.C. is a football club from Nefyn in Wales. They play in the Ardal NW League.

History

Nefyn United had been a regular fixture in the Welsh Alliance League, finishing around the mid-table for nine seasons after gaining promotion from the Gwynedd League in 2005. However, disaster struck before the 2014–15 season when manager Geraint Evans resigned from his post to become station officer at the local fire station, leaving the club without a manager for the upcoming season.[1] Unable to find a suitable replacement in time, the club decided to move back to the Gwynedd League, now two tiers below where they had been competing because of the introduction of the Welsh Alliance League Division 2 in 2010.

The club finished the 2014–15 season in the Gwynedd League in sixth place.[2]

In 2017–18 Nefyn reached three finals, losing in extra time to Gwalchmai 2–1 in the Safeflue Cup and losing to Bro Goronwy in the Bob Owen Memorial Cup. In the NWCFA Junior Cup they beat Bontnewydd after extra time 4–2.[3]
