The South Wales derby is a football local derby between Welsh clubs Cardiff City and Swansea City and is regarded as one of the most fierce rivalries in British football. Despite both clubs being in Wales, they play in the English football league system and have won English honours: Cardiff the FA Cup in 1927 and Swansea the League Cup in 2013.
The last South Wales derby to be played took place on 6 February 2011 in the Championship, which ended with a 1–0 win to Cardiff City at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea. The South Wales derby will take place in top-flight football for the very first time in the 2013-14 season following Cardiff City's promotion to the Premier League.
