They were promoted to National League One as champions in their second season (2007) after losing in the final eliminator of the 2006 play-offs. The Crusaders play their home games at the Brewery Field in Bridgend, although some games have been played in other parts of South Wales. They are coached by John Dixon and the President is Jonathan Davies. In 2008 Celtic Crusaders signalled their ambition for Super League rugby and were one of 19 clubs to submit an application for a Super League licence. They were accepted and start playing in Super League in 2009.
