Sporting & Spectator Break
The towering Millennium Stadium put Cardiff on the world sporting map thanks to hosting the Rugby World Cup and six FA cup finals, and each year plays host to world class rugby, football and motorsports including Wales Rally GB, speedway and motorcross.
Sitting next door to the Millennium Stadium is Cardiff Arms Park, where both of Cardiff’s local rugby teams play. Cardiff Rugby Club established in 1876, plays in the Welsh Premiership and the Cardiff Blues established in 2003 compete in the tough Celtic League and Anglo-Welsh Cup.
Rugby isn’t the only popular sport in the Welsh Capital of course. Cardiff City Football Club play Championship football at Ninian Park, just two miles west of the city centre. Glamorgan Cricket play their home matches at Sophia Gardens cricket ground, and The Cardiff Devils compete in the Elite Ice Hockey League from their base in Cardiff Bay.
Since the creation of Cardiff Bay’s 500 acre freshwater lake, the area has also become a regular venue for a wide variety of water sports, from high speed Zap-Cats and Formula 3 Powerboats to canoe slaloms and windsurfing.
