Llandudno RFC was established in 1952 when Liverpudlian, John Kidson, arrived in Llandudno and being a rugby union fan, was surprised to find the town had no team. Within a few months he had managed to gain enough local support and Llandudno RFC fielded a team for the 1952-53 season; though without a pitch the team played all matches away. The next year Conwy Football team disbanded and after some negotiation Llandudno were allowed to take over the Conway Morfa ground.

In 1957 a fire destroyed the changing rooms at the Morfa ground and the club were forced to move to a new pitch founded on the local Maesdu tip. In 1959 the club applied for and gained membership of the Welsh Rugby Union.
