From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cardiff City Football Club is a professional football club based in Cardiff, Wales. Founded in 1899, the club competed in local amateur leagues before turning professional in 1910, moving into the English football league system by joining the Southern Football League. Ten years later, they were elected into the Second Division of the Football League,[1] winning promotion to the First Division in their first season.[2] They achieved their highest ever position during the 1923–24 season, finishing in second place of the First Division but lost the league title on goal average to Huddersfield Town.[3] They were relegated from the First Division in 1929. Since then, they have spent a further nine seasons in the top tier; the most recent return was a one-year spell in the 2018–19 season.[2]

Cardiff's first team have competed in a number of nationally contested leagues, and their record against each club faced in those competitions is summarised below. The club's first competitive fixture as a professional team came against Ton Pentre on 24 September 1910,[4] the opening day of the 1910–11 season, in the Second Division of the Southern Football League. Their first fixture in the Football League came on 28 August 1920 against Stockport County.[5] They met their 116th and most recent different opponent, Burton Albion, for the first time on the opening day of the 2016–17 Football League season.[6] The team that Cardiff have met the most in league competition is Preston North End; the 39 victories from 102 meetings is more than Cardiff have recorded against any other club. Millwall have drawn 28 league matches with Cardiff, more than any other club, and Bristol City have recorded the most victories against Cardiff with 38.

All statistics are correct up to and including the match played on 6 November 2024.
