Rugby
As a club we endeavour to provide ‘Rugby for all’. Offering one of the best playing and training facilities anywhere in the country, Brighton really is a great place to come and play. Our fully floodlit 1st team pitch is backed up by a 2nd flood lit 3rd generation artificial training pitch as well as additional floodlit grass training areas. All of our players benefit from having a all-year-round perfect playing and training surface. With picturesque views of the Sussex Downs there really are few better places to play rugby in England.
1st Team Ambitions
In our quest to provide ‘Rugby for all’ for our great City, it is our ambition to be able to offer top class rugby at Brighton. We take pride in offering players a professional environment where they can; learn, develop and enjoy playing rugby. We offer players assistance both on and off the pitch that will enable them to perform to the best of their ability.
In the last 2 years, our 1st XV have won 2 league promotions, 2 National Cups at Twickenham and a Sussex Shield that all sit very proudly in our trophy cabinet!

Mini & Youth Rugby
Brighton mini and youth section was founded in September 1999 with a handful of players and coaches. Since then its teams have flourished and it has grown into a vibrant, thriving community. Everyone is welcome as players are drawn from a very wide range of schools and colleges. We play matches throughout Sussex and get invited further afield. For instance we have travelled up to Guinness premiership champions London Wasps for match day coaching sessions. We are very proud of producing 7 county champion teams in the 2007-2008 season and several players have been selected for the Harlequins Academy but, above all, we are delighted that so many players and parents enjoy the unique experience that club Rugby offers.
