yes Rugby league is played in and around the city of Cape Town. it is also played at junior level, from under 9 years old, it is open to all the communities and schools in the cape, incidently cape town are undefeated at senior level by any south African opposition, and have only ever been beaten on one occasion, by north sydney bears in 1993 by a score of 48 pts to 6. the game there, is run entirely on a self supporting and autonomous basis, and has, for unknown reasons, been completey ignored by the UK Australian and other world rugby league governing bodies, who refuse to recognise cape town RL, the provincial side are known as the cape cobras, and over the years have produced jamie bloem, Jacob steemag, bradley green, and marius swartz. they are coached by yorkshireman 'big' martin Birmingham and have been since 1991, Birmingham is also the regional development officer, the potential of RL in the cape is considered to be massive by even the SARU.

In the Currie Cup competition it is Western Province.

In the Super 14 competition it is the Stormers.

The Stormers team make up is centred on the Western Province side, but they also draw players from the Cavaliers.
