Team overview
Welsh Fire at a glance
Welsh Fire represent Cardiff and Wales in The Hundred. The women's and men's teams share one franchise identity and home ground, but their squads, standings, results and player statistics are recorded separately.
Glamorgan's published 2025 material says the county owns 50% of the franchise. Its partnership with Washington Freedom connects Welsh Fire to a second league organisation, while Welsh Fire themselves continue to compete only in The Hundred.
Through 8 August, the women were fifth at 3–3 with 12 points and the men were fifth at 4–2 with 16. Together that placed Welsh Fire fifth in the combined table with 28 points before the 9 August Headingley double-header.
