The early days were spent in the local leagues, where much success was achieved in the league and cup competitions. After World War Two the team joined the South Wales Amateur League and success continued by winning the league title in 1951 and the Corinthian Cup in 1950 and 1952 and also notably winning the Brecon Corinthian cup in three successive years 1949–1951.
In 1952, Tonyrefail Welfare AFC joined the Welsh Football League, where they played for 47 years. Their highest league finish was third place in the Second Division in 1961–62.
In 1999, Tonyrefail Welfare AFC left the Welsh Football League and joined the Rhondda & District League. They have remained in this league ever since.
