Hackney RFC is a different sort of club.
Combining a competitive spirit on the pitch with a fierce commitment to building the most welcoming environment off it, our ethos has always been to present an alternative form of rugby. At the heart of our community club is a desire to lower the barriers to playing the sport we love, and we strive to create the most inclusive rugby family across all of our teams.
We welcome all new players with open arms; from those who have played at a high level looking to continue competitive rugby, to those for whom it is the first time picking up a rugby ball, and all the casual players in between - Hackney RFC is the club for you.
Training details are at the bottom of this page.
Please do get in touch. We'd love for you to join.
