Carmarthen Town Association Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-droed Tref Caerfyrddin) is a Welsh semi-professional football club based in Carmarthen. The team play their home games at Richmond Park. The club colours, reflected in their crest and kit, are gold and black. They are managed by former player Neil Smothers.

Formed in 1950, Carmarthen Town was elected into the Welsh Football League in 1953. Their first league honour came in 1959–60, with promotion from Division 2 West to the First Division of the Welsh League. Carmarthen Town's first trophy was the Welsh Football League Cup, which they won in the 1995–96 season. Since then the club have gone on to win the Welsh Cup once and the Welsh League Cup twice. They have also qualified for UEFA competitions on four occasions.

Carmarthen Town currently play in Welsh Premier League and have yet to win a league title, despite being in the top tier of Welsh football since 1996–97. The club had their highest finish in 2000–01, with third place, which qualified them for European competition for the first time.

From 1952 Carmarthen Town have played at Richmond Park in Carmarthen. The ground has been redeveloped over recent years into a small, modern and compact football stadium with a capacity of 3,000. The club's new Clay Shaw Butler Stand has a 1000-seat capacity which enabled Carmarthen Town to host the club's first home European fixture at the ground in July 2007 when they entertained Norwegian side SK Brann.

Supporters

In the 2012–13 season Carmarthen's average attendance was 296, placing them fourth out of twelve teams in the Welsh Premier League. The highest league gate of the season came against Afan Lido FC with 413 spectators and the lowest, 167, against Airbus UK Broughton.
