Panteg AFC was formed in 1947 under the name RTB Panteg (which became Panteg in 1972) as a team representing the local Richard Thomas and Baldwin Steelworks (previously Baldwin Steelworks), and played its home games at the RTB Sportsground, but in 1981 the grounds were sold to make way for a major road development. The club then relocated half a mile away to Panteg House Sportsground, where they have been ever since.

The team have been playing in the Gwent County League since the 1999/2000 season, following relegation from The Welsh League. At present we currently run 3 senior teams (one in the Gwent County Second Division, one in the Gwent Central First Division and one in the Gwent Central Second Division).

In addition, we are also the first club in Torfaen to run a pan-disability football team, having developed full inclusive sessions for young boys and girls in the area that have a learning or physical disability.
