When established in 2016 the Peterborough Royals were the first and only Women’s American Football team in Cambridgeshire.

The club have since competed in regional and national tournaments as well as international camps and some of our players have been invited to train and represent Great Britain, including Tanya Dales who has appeared in European and World Championship competitions.
