Cardiff Saracens Rugby Football Club was formed in 1966 when two of rugby clubs in Cardiff, Wales amalgamated.[2] The former clubs were Roath Park RFC (est. 1889) and Spillers RFC (est. circa 1920).[2] The 'Sarries', as they are known locally, play in black shirts with red piping, black shorts and black socks.
The club run 1st and 2nd XV teams and a veterans XV which play from September 1 until May 6 every season. The club's ground is at Roath Park Recreation Ground and their clubhouse (The Gower Hotel) is also based in the Roath District of Cardiff about 1km from Cardiff city centre.
In 2009, having finished as runners-up in the Cardiff & District Premier Division for the previous two seasons, the club was promoted to the Welsh Rugby Union's WRU Division Six Central.
In the 2009/10 season they were sponsored by Spiro's Catering Ltd and Cardiff Diesel.
