[2] Cardiff Quins RFC owe their creation from student pressure to play the game of rugby in Cardiff High School where football (soccer) had been the sport of choice.

In 1921 a rugby game was played between the Old Boys and a school XV.

As with all clubs in Wales the team disbanded during both World War periods but have been playing continuously from 1928.

Originally the club only selected former students from Cardiff High School, but open membership was allowed in 1966.
