History
For a full history see; List of Chirk AAA FC seasons
Chirk, along with other local teams Wrexham, Oswestry and Druids, became founder members of the Welsh Football Association in the same year as their formation.
Chirk’s early teams were formed mainly from employees from both Chirk Castle and Black Park Colliery. Chirk played friendly fixtures against other local teams and it was not until October 1877 that Chirk competed in a competitive fixture, although archive information from the Football Association suggests that the club entered the 1885–86 FA Cup, losing in the first round to Burslem Port Vale 3–0.
Albert Lockley, the Welsh international forward who played for Chirk in the late 19th century, was the great grandfather of actor Ralf Little.
Billy Meredith started his football career at the club before playing for Manchester City and Manchester United.
