Cardiff Arms Park, known in Welsh as Parc yr Arfau Caerdydd and also referred to as the Arms Park, is a rugby union stadium in Cardiff, Wales. It is located directly next to the Principality Stadium, and is the home of Cardiff Rugby rugby union club.

📜 History

Cricket and rugby were played on the site of Cardiff Arms Park as early as the 1840's, however it was not until 1881 that formal cricket and rugby stadiums were created, when grandstands were added to the ground. In 1912 and throughout the 1930's, 1940's, and 1950's the venue underwent various renovations, and by the middle of the 20th century, Cardiff Arms Park had been transformed into a well-equipped multi-purpose stadium with a spectator capacity of 60,000. In 1958 Cardiff Arms Park hosted athletics at the Commonwealth Games.

In 1969, construction on Wales' new National Stadium began on the Arms Park site. The northern portion of Arms Park - formerly the cricket ground - became a separate rugby pitch which continued to bear the Cardiff Arms Park name, whilst the southern portion of the site, the original rugby ground, became the National Stadium. In 1997, the National Stadium was demolished and replaced by the Principality Stadium (formerly known as the Millennium Stadium).

As well as hosting Cardiff Rugby's home matches since the late 19th century, Cardiff Arms Park has also staged many notable international rugby union games tests and other major club matches, including the inaugural finals of both the women's Rugby World Cup final (1991), and the Champions Cup (1996). The stadium was home to Wales' men's national rugby union team from 1964 until the construction of the National Stadium.

Other sports hosted at Cardiff Arms Park include association football (soccer), baseball, and rugby league. Musical acts have also performed at the stadium.
