Gwalia United Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Pêl-droed Gwalia Unedig) is a Welsh women's football club playing in the FAWNL Southern Premier Division. The club was renamed Gwalia United prior to the start of the 2024–25 season. Prior to this, the club was most recently called Cardiff City Ladies F.C. but has also played as Llanedeyrn L.F.C., Inter Cardiff F.C. and Cardiff County L.F.C.

The club was founded in 1975 as Llanedeyrn L.F.C. after a local charity match. In 1981 the name was changed to Cardiff L.F.C., and in 1993 the club linked up with Inter Cardiff F.C. and started playing at the Cardiff Athletic Stadium. In 1997 the connection with Inter Cardiff was terminated and the club changed its name to Cardiff County L.F.C. while affiliating with the Cardiff County Council. In 2001 the club began affiliating with Cardiff City, the professional men’s club from the same city.

At the beginning of the 2003 season, however, the club severed its connection with its male counterpart when its members voted against the men’s club's proposals and its operations became an independent outfit again. Although they were allowed to keep use of the Cardiff City name and kit colours, their crest was altered to incorporate the Welsh red dragon.

In 2006 Cardiff City Ladies won the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division and were promoted to the National Division for the first time. Relegated in the 2007–08 season, the club again were promoted to the National Division in 2010–11.

In the 2021–22 season, Cardiff City Ladies were relegated from the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division, but earned promotion back the following season.

In August 2023, still under the Cardiff City Ladies name, the club outlined a new strategy aimed at improving infrastructure, visibility, and competitive standards within women's football. BBC Sport reported that the plan included investment in performance analysis, medical provision, and partnerships such as with the University of South Wales.

On 1 March 2024, the club announced it would rebrand as Gwalia United ahead of the 2024–25 season. The new name, derived from an ancient Welsh term for Wales, was chosen to reflect cultural heritage and the club's ambitions within the domestic game. Founded in 1975, the club had previously produced more than 100 senior internationals, and the rebranding was presented as part of a wider vision centred on unity, heritage, resilience, and inclusion.
