Cardiff City are a football team based in Wales who play in the English league system.
Cardiff have met Bristol Rovers 64 times in the Football League and national cup competitions, and according to a poll conducted in 2003 by the Football Fans Census, they are Rovers' second biggest rivals after Bristol City. This rivalry may now have been exceeded by Swindon Town however, due to the lack of recent meetings between Rovers and Cardiff.
