Wales National Rugby Union Team

The Wales national rugby union team represents Wales in men's international rugby union and is governed by the Welsh Rugby Union, which was established in 1881, the year Wales played its first international against England. Home matches are played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which replaced Cardiff Arms Park as the national stadium in 1999. Wales has competed annually in the Six Nations Championship and its predecessors since 1883, winning the tournament outright 28 times, and has played in every Rugby World Cup since the first in 1987, finishing third that year. The team had a first golden age between 1900 and 1911 and a second between 1969 and 1980, and reached number one in the World Rugby Rankings in August 2019.
