Cardiff is one of four teams in the BUAFL that represent universities in Wales, following the introduction of the Swansea Titans and the Bangor Muddogs for the 2009/2010 season.
Cardiff have historically competed annually for the "Welsh Bowl" trophy with the Tarannau Aberystwyth team and have won all of these encounters within the BUAFL league format.
