It was established in 1980 from the memorabilia collection of Welsh radio commentator G. V. Wynne-Jones. Since 1990, inductees to the exclusive "Roll of Honour" have been chosen annually by a trustees committee comprising representatives from athletics, media, universities and museums. The organisation has also given awards to individuals for outstanding contribution to Welsh sport.

The Roll of Honour Citation

"Inclusion in the Roll of Honour is for those people who, by their achievement and by their example and conduct, in and beyond the sporting arena, have brought distinction to themselves and credit to Wales."

The Hall of Fame exhibition was on permanent exhibition at the Sports Council for Wales, South Glamorgan County Council, the Museum of Welsh Life until 2009, when it moved to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.^[1]

The committee of trustees is chaired by Rhodri Morgan who took over from Lord Brooks of Tremorfa. The WSHOF committee in 2016 consists of Rhodri Morgan (chair), Jeff Andrews (secretary), Geoff Bray, Dave Cobner, Rob Cole, Peter Corrigan, Carolyn Hitt, Peter Jackson, Dylan Jones, Sheila Morrow, Nicky Piper, Dave Roberts, Clive Williams.
