History

The club joined Saturday league football for 2008–09, and saw success in their first season, winning the North Wales Coast FA Junior Challenge Cup{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Dave |title=Junior Cup joy on a beautiful day for Bay in 2008/09 |url=https://nwsport.co.uk/2021/04/12/junior-cup-joy-on-a-beautiful-day-for-bay-in-2008-09/ |publisher=Grassroots North Wales |access-date=29 October 2021}} as well as the Anglesey League's Dargie Cup and Thomas & Williams Cup.{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Dave |title=Reflections: Looking back on Trearddur Bay United's greatest achievements |url=https://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/reflections-looking-back-trearddur-bay-14953288|publisher=Daily Post |access-date=29 October 2021 |date=25 July 2018}} The following season saw them obtain more cup success, retaining the Dargie Cup and winning the Elias Cup. The 2010–11 season saw them win the Anglesey League and three cup competitions, and gain promotion to the Gwynedd League.

The club's first season saw them finish league runners-up and win the Cwpan Gwynedd. The following season they went one better and finished champions of the league, gaining promotion to the Welsh Alliance League Division Two. The club finished third in the first season in the league and third again the followings season, gaining promotion to Division One. The next season saw the club win Division One at their first attempt but they were denied promotion to the Cymru Alliance, as their ground did not meet the required criteria to qualify for promotion.

In June 2017 a new management team of former manager, Chris Davies and Nathan Owen took over.{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Dave |title=New management team aim to bring more glory to Trearddur Bay United |url=https://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/new-management-team-aim-bring-13145817 |publisher=Daily Post |access-date=29 October 2021 |date=6 June 2017}} The following July the club withdrew from the Welsh Alliance League, planning to take a year out.{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Jordan |title=Llanfairpwll and Trearddur Bay withdraw from Welsh Alliance League |url=https://clwbpeldroed.org/2018/07/24/llanfairpwll-trearddur-bay-united-welsh-alliance/ |publisher=Y Clwb Pel-Droed |access-date=29 October 2021 |date=24 July 2018}}
