Radyr Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1914 by 20 Radyr 'Gentlemen', helped by the Earl of Plymouth Estates. Its first location was near the railway station but the courts were badly laid. Again with the help of Plymouth Estates, the club lifted the turf from all three grass courts and relaid it on its current site next to Christ Church on Heol Isaf.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.radyrtennis.com |title=Radyr Lawn Tennis Club |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611054623/http://www.radyrtennis.com/ |archive-date=2011-06-11 }}</ref>

Radyr Cricket Club was founded in 1890 by the Earl of Plymouth, who granted a hundred-year lease for the current riverside ground to the local residents for a nominal sum. The pavilion was destroyed by fire in 1973 while the team were away on tour. Under the leadership of the new Chairman Keith Terry, a huge fund-raising effort was made and a new pavilion opened on the footprint of the old one in 1975. Radyr currently plays in the first division of the [[South Wales Premier Cricket League]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.radyrcc.co.uk/history.html |title=A History of Radyr Cricket Club |access-date=4 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050522230333/http://www.radyrcc.co.uk/history.html |archive-date=22 May 2005}}</ref>
