Sussex RFU is the governing body for all Rugby Union in the administrative Counties of East Sussex, West Sussex and the City of Brighton & Hove. We celebrated our 125th Anniversary in 2008, with a match against the Belgium National XV. There are 36 Clubs, from the very old - Brighton FC (RFU) - founded 1868 - to the very new - Horley RFC and Brighton & Hove Medical School who both joined us in 2008. In 2006-7, for the first time Sussex RFU had the honour of providing the President of the Rugby Football Union, R.A.G (Bob) Rogers.
Our clubs range from Chichester and Worthing in the West to Robertsbridge and Hastings & Bexhill in the East, and from Littlehampton and Rye on the Coast to Horsham and Crawley in the North. The larger Clubs have thriving mini and youth sections, and many run Womens' and Girls teams.
We have very active Committees working on Coaching, Playing and Community Rugby, in conjunction with our Schools Union. The County is divided into four 'Rugby Development Partnerships', with Clubs, Local authorities and Schools involved. Each has its own Community Rugby Coach working under the direction of
County Rugby Development Officer, Mal Chumbley.
Our Referees Society is recognised as one of the most innovative and pro-active in the country.
The Sussex Fixture Bureau is on-line at - www.sussexfixturebureau.org.uk
Our clubs play in Leagues from level 4 to 12, we have a thriving 6 - level Sussex Knock-out Competition,
a Womens' KO competition and County-administered Leagues and Knockout competitions for every Senior Men's side from 2nd to Vets
