Derby Rugby Club is an English rugby union team based in Derby, Derbyshire. The club runs four senior sides, a veterans team, a ladies team and a colts team and a full set of junior sides.[1]. The first XV currently plays in National 3 Midlands.

History

Derby Rugby Club was officially formed in 1891/92 but it is believed that rugby union was played under the Derby name for a few seasons prior to this date but no written evidence to support this exists. The club has played at a number of grounds and has been at the present site at Haslams Lane since June 2002 and since then the club has progressed from Midlands 2 West to the national leagues, winning promotion in 2011-12 from Midlands 1 East to National 3 Midlands.[2]
