Leamington Rugby Club HistoryThe present Leamington RUFC was founded in 1926, although a previous town club, Leamington Rovers, was known to exist as early as the 1880's.
Records from newspapers at that time indicate that the Leamington Rovers was one of the leading clubs in the Midlands. Matches were played - and won - against such well known sides as Leicester, Nottingham and Northampton, Leamington RUFC is striving to return to that level. Since 1926 progressive development has instigated the relocation of the club on a number of occasions before settling at its fine freehold complex on the Kenilworth Road in 1970.

High standards of facilities have enabled the club to attract quality players, administrators and supporters. In consequence, the club boasts a strong fixture list in South Warwickshire which has been further improved by the introduction of leagues.
The club has made four appearances in the final of the Warwickshire Cup, winning once in 1992. We are recognised as a leading junior club in Warwickshire.
