The story of Fylde Rugby Club is one we take immense pride in. It all began back in July 1919, when the club’s existence was decided quite literally by the flip of a coin. On July 25th, a group of Manchester businessmen gathered at the Ansdell Institute to determine whether they should establish a rugby or a football club. The coin landed in rugby’s favor, and from that pivotal moment, Fylde Rugby Club was born.
From those modest beginnings, our club has grown into a nationally respected institution, recognized not only for our achievements on the pitch but also for our enduring contributions to English rugby as a whole. Over the years, we’ve cultivated a strong brand name synonymous with excellence, integrity, and passion for the sport.
Today, Fylde Rugby Club stands as a cornerstone of our local community, bridging generations through a shared love of rugby. We are proud to nurture talent from grassroots to senior levels, inspiring players of all ages to embrace the sport’s values of teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship. Whether cheering from the sidelines, lacing up boots for the first time, or representing Fylde on a national stage, our story continues to reflect the spirit of community and resilience that has defined us since 1919.
