Sardis Road, Rugby union stadium in Pontypridd, Wales
Sardis Road is a rugby stadium in Pontypridd with an artificial grass pitch and two grandstands positioned along the touchlines, with open terracing at the Rhondda end. The ground holds around 7,860 spectators and functions as the home venue for Pontypridd RFC.
The ground opened in September 1974 after Pontypridd RFC moved from their former home at Ynysangharad Park due to construction work on the A470 road. The relocation marked an important turning point for the club.
The ground sits where a coal mine once operated, and a memorial recalls the mining heritage that defined Welsh working communities. This connection to the industrial past shapes how locals see the place as part of their shared history.
The stadium is straightforward to reach by car or public transport and provides basic facilities for match days. Arriving early helps you find parking and settle in before the match starts.
The ground hosted an international pool match during the 1991 Rugby World Cup between Argentina and Western Samoa, with the latter winning 35-12. This high-profile event brought global attention to the small Welsh town.
