The club was one of the eleven founding members of the Welsh Rugby Union in 1881.[2] Brecon, along with Pontypool, Llandovery College, Lampeter College, Llandeilo and Merthyr inaugurated the South Wales Cup competition in the 1877-78 season.[3]
The first recorded match with a Brecon rugby team first appeared on 9 November 1867 in "The Brecon County Times" where a Town team from Brecon lost 2-0 to Christ's College, Brecon on 6 November 1867.[4]
An ad appeared on 24 October 1868, in The Brecon County Times, stating the formation of a new club in the town, playing their inaugural match on 21/10/1868 on the cricket field, with the captain's side beating the secretaries side. Their kit for the match was "white Jerseys bound with green, and a fleur-de-lis on the left side". There was no name of the new club mentioned.[5] On 9 January 1869, another team was formed in Brecon, called "The United Rangers".[6]
