History
Nottingham Moderns RFC is an amateur rugby union club. It was founded in 1956 by a group of school leavers from the Players and Cottesmore Schools. The club secured its present home at Wilford in 1975. In 1979 the clubhouse was built (extended in 1981) due in no small way to Arthur Luff, then Club President, and a former international referee.

During this successful period, the club produced players who went on the represent many senior rugby clubs and representative sides. Brian Hall captained Leicester as well as representing the Barbarians and The Midlands. Barrington Pitt gained international honours as an international colt.

They currently play in Midlands 3 East Division.
