Rugby Clubs in Surrey

Looking for Surrey rugby clubs? This page brings together all 14 rugby union clubs in Surrey that we list, so you can compare them side by side. Every club links to its own profile with its location, history and, where we hold them, contact details.

Surrey has deep rugby roots. For example, Richmond RFC dates from 1861, which places it among the oldest clubs in the game, while Dorking RFC has played since 1921. Meanwhile, towns such as Guildford, Farnham and Reigate each have their own long-established community club.

How to Choose a Rugby Club in Surrey

First, think about travel. Most players train twice a week and play on Saturdays, so a club within 20 minutes of home makes a real difference over a season.

Next, consider the level you want to play at. Some Surrey clubs compete in the National Leagues, while others focus on county and social rugby. Because most clubs run several senior teams, however, there is usually a side that suits your ability.

Finally, if you have children, ask about mini and junior sections. Our guide to junior and youth rugby explains the age groups and what to expect.
