St Peters Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team from the town of Roath, Cardiff, South Wales. St Peters RFC are members of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Cardiff Blues.^[2].

The club formed in 1886 as the parish club of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church in Roath. Although the founding year of 1886 is an approximated date accepted by the club, it is not until 1888 that the first recorded match can be found. This is recorded in the regional newspaper, the Western Mail, and was against St. Margarets, also of Roath.
