Club Info

The club was formed in 1929 to enable it’s members to play Rugby Union

Loughborough RFC regularly fields four men’s sides on a Saturday, as well as having one of the best attended Mini and Junior sections in the county. In additionwe also run a very strong ladies section and a Veterans team for occasional social games for the older players who wish to continue playing.

The club plays all matches on Derby Road Playing Fields on the outskirts of Loughborough and currently the 1st XV play league fixtures in Midlands 2 East.

The club has reached the final of the Leicestershire County Cup several times, in 1978 losing narrowly losing to Westleigh, Hinckley some years later and in recent years have won the Bowl competition, beating Vipers RFC two years in succession to lift the trophy.

Loughborough, as many clubs have done, has responded to the calling and popularity of Women’s Rugby and the Women’s section is about to embark on its 17th season.

Loughborough also has a hugely successful youth set-up, including Mini-Midi rugby for those children (boys and girls) aged 7 to 12. Junior rugby is for boys aged between 13 and 17. Colts rugby is for those aged 18 and 19. Recently the women’s ladies have added a Junior Girls section  (age groups under 14 to 17).

Loughborough is always open to new members, both players and social and encourages boys, girls, men and women to join the club, either as players or Social Members.

Loughborough Veterans have proven to be a hardy band of old-timers by winning the Veterans Cup 3 years in succession.

On 18 April 2015 the club hosted the Inaugural “Beer Tap” Veterans Rugby Tournament. 16 Teams from around the UK, competed with Loughborough running out the winners.
