Formed in 1876, Pontypridd Rugby Football Club played its matches at the Ynysangharad and Trallwn fields before moving to Taff Vale Park in 1890-1. In 1901 it moved again, this time to People's Park in Mill Street, before returning to Ynysangharad in 1904. Finally, Pontypridd moved to Sardis Road in 1971 to make way for a dual carriageway development.
Since the appearance of Edward Llewellyn Treharne in Wales's first international rugby match against England on 19 February 1881, Pontypridd has produced international players of a fine calibre. They include Russell Robins, who moved to rugby league in 1958, Tom David and Bob Penberthy.
The most famous of all Pontypridd players is Neil Jenkins, who scored a record-breaking 1,049 points in 87 tests for Wales and 41 points in 4 tests for the British and Irish Lions.
