Cardiff Rugby (Welsh: Rygbi Caerdydd) are one of the four professional Welsh rugby union teams. Based in Cardiff, the club plays at Cardiff Arms Park. The club became professional in 1996, following the professionalisation of rugby union. Between 2003 and 2021 the club's first team was branded the Cardiff Blues.
Traditionally, the club competed in matches against English and Welsh clubs as well as against touring sides.
Today they compete in the United Rugby Championship and in European Professional Club Rugby competitions.
They won European Challenge Cup titles in 2010 and 2018, beating Toulon and Gloucester respectively. Cardiff most recently made the knockout stages of the European Rugby Champions Cup in 2012.
Their most recent league title came in 2000 with victory in the Welsh-Scottish League. They most recently made the URC playoffs in 2026.
Between 2005 and 2018, they also competed in the Anglo-Welsh Cup and won the 2009 title, beating Gloucester at Twickenham.
The club also runs one of the five Welsh rugby academies, age group teams and the semi professional Cardiff RFC side, affectionately nicknamed "The Rags", which competes in Super Rygbi Cymru.
In 2026, Cardiff Rugby will celebrate its 150th season. It is one of only three clubs to feature in the World Rugby Hall of Fame.
