Rugby has to be the sport most associated with Richmond upon Thames, due to the presence of Twickenham rugby stadium. But don't think Richmond rugby is just about Twickenham - there are many other local rugby clubs - and of course you can always pick up a ball and run around Richmond Park. The Rugby World Cup in 2015 will be based at Twickenham Stadium! For more local sports information, see our index page on sport in Richmond.

For more information about the big rugby matches, rugby pubs and of course local transport, visit our page on Twickenham Stadium The origin of rugby is reputed to be an incident when William Webb-Ellis picked up a soccer ball, during a game of football in 1823 and ran with it, at Rugby School, Rugby, England. Although this tale is likely to be apocryphal, the trophy played for every four years at the Rugby World Cup is named after him. Richmond Rugby Club was formed in 1861 and participated in the worlds very first inter-club fixture in 1864 against Blackheath. Richmond Athletic Ground, home to London Scottish and Richmond Rugby Clubs runs an annual fireworks night, as does Barnes Sports Club. For more information, visit our Richmond events calendar page.
