Brighton Football Club (RFU)



Brighton Rugby Club is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the country founded in 1868. As they were founded before the RFU they are one of the few clubs who are designated F.C. rather than R.F.C.

The club was formed mainly from players from Brighton College. The 1st XV play in the Regional 1 South Central – a league at level 5 of the English rugby union system - following their promotion from London 1 South via the pla-yoffs at the end of 2018–19. The 2nd XV play in Sussex Spitfire 1.
