History For a full history see; List of football seasons involving Brymbo teams
Formed sometime around 1900 Brymbo Victoria were runners up in the Welsh Amateur Cup in 1908. They joined The Combination midway through the 1909/10 season, taking on the results of Birkenhead who had resigned mid season, finishing bottom of the league. Upon joining The Combination their colours were reported as being red and white. The 1910–11 season saw an upturn in fortunes and they finished fourth. However they folded at the end of the season.
Resurrection
The Brymbo Victoria name was resurrected more than 100 years after they last played, when in June 2017 the name was listed among the entrants for the 2017–18 North East Wales League season. This was following the decision of Brymbo Sports and Social Club to switch to Saturday football, following the demise of the Wrexham Sunday League. This club folded in 2021.
