Horsham Rugby Union Football Club is a community rugby club in Horsham, West Sussex, England. The club was founded in 1928 by E.J. Hodgson and A.G. Puttock during an auspicious meeting in the Station Hotel opposite Horsham Station, which still stands today.

Grounds
For the first couple of years, the team played on some farmland near the old Warnham Park gates on the London Road. In 1930 the team moved to Horsham Cricket Club where they played until 1968. After the Second World War, the numbers of players steadily grew, and additional pitches were rented in Horsham Park. From 1968 there was a period of nomadic existence until the new ground at Coolhurst, off Hammerpond Road, was ready to house the club in 1972. This scenic ground remains its home today, set in twenty-seven acres of outstanding natural beauty.
