Teams 
Welcome to Bideford RFC, a beacon of rugby and community spirit, nestled in the heart of North Devon.
We're not just a rugby club; we're a family, a group of passionate enthusiasts bound together by our love for the game. Our club, entrenched in history and tradition, embodies the enduring spirit of rugby: camaraderie, respect, and unyielding determination.
Our story began in 1926 when a group of local rugby enthusiasts decided to form their own club, laying the foundation for what would become a storied and spirited sporting rivalry with our neighbours, Barnstaple RFC. Since our initial kick-off at Victoria Park, we've called several grounds home, settling eventually at King George's Field in 1969. Over our nearly century-long history, we've grown from strength to strength, overcoming challenges and celebrating victories, all while sharing our passion for rugby with every new generation.
We've tasted success on the pitch with notable victories including three Devon Junior Cup wins (1933, 1935, and 2008), triumph in the Havill Plate in 1975, and a league and cup double in the 2010-11 season, among others. In our ever-evolving journey, we've experienced highs and lows, but the spirit of Bideford RFC has remained undeterred, rooted firmly in our love for the sport and our community.
