Scunthorpe Rugby Club is an English rugby union team based in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire. The club runs six senior sides, a ladies team, a colts and under-18s team and a full set of junior teams.[1] The club currently plays in National League 2 North following their promotion from Regional 1 North East at the end of the 2024–25 season.
Scunthorpe Rugby Club was formed in 1929 and played its first fixtures in a field owned by a local farmer, on the condition that the goal posts were moved after each game so that the animals could return to graze. From these humble beginnings the club progressed to a stage whereby it was able to move to its own ground, Heslam Park, in 1952.
Since 1952 the club have been based at Heslam Park in the middle of Scunthorpe, which they share with Scunthorpe Town cricket club.[2][3] Heslam Park is accessible by car via the A18 and is around a mile from Scunthorpe railway station if coming by train. Facilities at the ground include a sports and social club, on-site parking, and an adjoined cricket pitch and rugby pitch, the rugby section of which features a covered stand with seating. The ground capacity around the rugby pitch includes 212 seats in the covered stand, along with approximately 1000 standing, leading to a total of around 1,212.[4]
