Richmond Rugby is preparing for the 2025/26 season and seeking motivated coaches to join our Senior Men’s and Women’s coaching setup.
As the second oldest club in the world, Richmond has a strong heritage and a respected place within the English rugby landscape. Our Men’s 1st XV side currently competes in the RFU Championship, having been promoted from National League 1 after claiming the league title in April. Our Women’s 1st XV team is the second most decorated in the country and currently competes in the Women’s Championship South 1. The squad continues to be one of the most competitive in the division, most recently reaching the Championship playoff final at Twickenham in May. Across the club, we run over 27 teams, supported by excellent facilities including seven pitches, a club gym and two club bars, one of which is the historic Murray Judd Room. We’re proud of our strong club culture, commitment to development, and continued ambition across all areas, from the Championship to community rugby. Earlier this year, the club completed a two-week senior tour to Japan, reinforcing our reputation as one of the world’s most travelled clubs since the 1960s.
