Pontarddulais Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team from the village of Pontarddulais in South Wales. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Ospreys.[3]
Although rugby had been played in Pontarddulais before the club's formation, it wasn't until 22nd September 1881 that the local inhabitants decided on creating an official rugby club. The fact that Ponterddulias have a formation date is fairly uncommon if not unique in Welsh rugby union clubs formed before World War I; as most other teams did not record the event. In the early 1890s the team played in a green strip but had changed to their present green and amber by the turn of the century.
