There are few cities in world rugby that capture the spirit of the game quite like Cardiff. The Principality Stadium dominates the skyline — a modern colosseum where 70,000 voices belt out “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau” and the red of Wales has battled the world’s best. Just beyond its shadow lies Cardiff Arms Park, steeped in history and home to Cardiff Rugby. Fixtures here, or across the city’s thriving club scene, provide a real test, with opposition and facilities to suit every touring squad.
For an unforgettable experience, visiting Cardiff Rugby is obligatory. Play on the famous Arms Park pitch, go through your paces with input from Cardiff Rugby coaches, watch the pros in training, and even eat like a Cardiff player for the day. Behind the clubhouse doors, the Trophy Room is a treasure trove of rugby history — including one of only two surviving jerseys from the legendary 1905 All Blacks, “The Originals.”
Away from the pitch, Cardiff is compact, walkable, and packed with atmosphere. The castle, the buzz of the city centre, and the nightlife of Cardiff Bay set the stage for squad socials. Add in the International White Water Centre and countless pubs, breweries, and restaurants, and you’ve got a rugby city that delivers on every front.
