About

QMRFC:

Founded pre-1900, QMRFC is proud to be one of the longest standing and most prestigious clubs at Queen Mary University; an ever-growing, dynamic and successful club. Queen Mary’s RFC aims to provide levels of rugby enjoyable to all, while pushing our elite players towards higher goals on the back of two promotions in the last two years for our 1^st XV. Ambitions for the 2023/2024 season are high, and with exciting new developments in sport at Queen Mary, QMRFC are primed to take full advantage and have another successful season. We are an all-inclusive club providing opportunities for players at all levels.

Competitions:

1^st XV BUCS league 4B and Conference Cup

Narrowly missed out on the win last year getting knocked out in the semi-finals of the cup and placed 3rd in the league trailing the leaders by only a few points.

Club Socials

Wednesday nights we celebrate the accomplishments of the week, providing a chance for all members to get to know one another. Our events are the envy of all the other sports clubs, because of the variety of social events and the enjoyment of them. We aim to make all our socials fun and inclusive, but we understand they aren’t always for everyone. At QMRFC everyone is a part of the club regardless and we strive to make everyone feel welcome.
