European record

Cardiff City regularly qualified for the now defunct European Cup Winners' Cup by winning the Welsh Cup. When the League of Wales was founded in 1992, Cardiff along with several other Welsh clubs in the English football pyramid, refused the opportunity to move into the league and were subsequently blocked from entering the Welsh Cup by UEFA.^[36] The club made their debut in European competition in the first round of the European Cup Winners' Cup on 9 September 194, drawing 0–0 with Danish side Esbjerg fB,.^[37] winning the second leg 1–0 at Ninian Park.^[38]
