By the mid-1950s Banbridge Town had established itself in intermediate football: in 1955–56 the club won the Irish League B Division (the second-tier of Northern Irish football at the time).
This season also brought the Louis Moore Cup (a regional intermediate trophy) to Banbridge. Another Mid-Ulster Cup victory followed in 1958–59

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s Banbridge Town continued to collect silverware. They regained the Mid-Ulster Cup in 1973–74 and 1979–80, and won the George Wilson Cup (an intermediate league trophy) in 1976–77.
The team also lifted the Louis Moore Cup again in 1967–68.
1980s and 1990s

In the same era they added the Alan Wilson Memorial Cup in 1986–87.
Banbridge Town also has been successful in the Bob Radcliffe Cup (another regional intermediate cup): they won it in 1980–81.
Modern Era
In 2004–05 the club joined the Irish League’s newly-formed Division Two (third tier) and finished as runners-up, earning promotion to Division One (second tier) in their first season
