Tarannau Aberystwyth are a British student American Football team and are members of the British Universities American Football League (BUAFL)'s South-West Division. One of BUAFL's more colourful teams, Aber was one of the best teams in the league through the mid to late 1990's, culminating with a Southern Conference championship and College Bowl appearance in 1997. Since the 1997-8 season, however, Aberystwyth suffered through 7 straight non-winning seasons (compiling a 13-42-1 record during that period) before compiling a 4-3-1 record in 2005-06. Tarannau continued with another solid season by going 4-4 during the 2006-07 season and defeating the Staffordshire Stallions 32-0 to win the Southern Plate.

Aberystwyth is one of two teams in the BUAFL that represent universities in Wales.

Two previous Head Coaches have gone on to become professional coaches in the USA; Richard Worsell Illinois College - Offensive Coordinator & Stephon Healey Bridgewater College - Assistant Head Coach, Defensive Line
