Our Story

Milton Keynes Rugby Union Football Club traces its roots back to the mid-1870s, when Wolverton RUFC was first formed. After a pause following the First World War, the club was re-established in 1958 and later adopted the Milton Keynes name in the early 1970s as the new city grew around it. This gives the club more than 150 years of heritage, 67 years in its modern form, and over five decades as MKRUFC.

Now based in Emerson Valley, the club has become a welcoming hub for rugby in the area. With pathways from Minis and Juniors through to the Academy, senior rugby and social formats like Touch Rugby, MKRUFC offers something for players of all ages and abilities. Whether someone is new to the sport or returning after time away, the club provides an inclusive place to learn, develop and enjoy rugby.

The club continues to thrive thanks to the dedication of its players, parents, volunteers and supporters. Whether you want to play, get involved behind the scenes or simply enjoy the match-day atmosphere, you’ll always find a warm welcome and a strong sense of community at MKRUFC.

Working Together for Milton Keynes

Creating Clear Player Pathways

By collaborating with other leading clubs, we help create clearer pathways for players moving from school sport into club sport and from junior teams into senior rugby. The focus is on accessibility, opportunity, and providing families with more ways to get involved.
