The club was founded in late 2011 and officially joined Championship 1, the third tier of rugby league in the United Kingdom, on 11 October 2011. Their name, which continues the Crusaders branding, was selected in a fan contest.[1][2] Clive Griffiths was confirmed as North Wales Crusaders Head Coach on 23 November[3] and started his search for players. The club held open trials for any new players to attend,[4] as well as scouring the local amateur game and signing players from Super League academies.
