Taunton R.F.C.

Taunton Rugby Football Club is an English rugby union club based in Taunton, Somerset. The first XV, Taunton Titans, play in National League 2 West (tier 4 of the English rugby union league system), having been relegated from National League 1 at the end of the 2023–24 season. The second XV (The Warriors) play in the Counties 1 Western North. The club also operates the full range of junior teams for both boys and girls.

The club was founded in 1875, and play their home matches at Hyde Park, next to the M5 motorway. They moved to Hyde Park in November 2001, having previously played at Priory Park for 66 years. In 2011, they began their partnership with local telecommunications firm, Commsplus. This partnership developed over many years and in October 2017, the Taunton Rugby Club ground at Hyde Park in Taunton was officially renamed the 'Commsplus Stadium'. For the 2019–20 season, the ground will be known as the 'Towergate Stadium' after new sponsors Towergate – an insurance company.

The ground name has changed several more times - from Veritas Park in 2023–24 to the Summerfield Stadium for the 2025-26 season.

The team's achievements in 2008–09, when they remained unbeaten, saw them being named 'BBC West Team of the Year'.

In the 2009–10 season, the Taunton 1st XV were champions of National League 3 South West, winning 24 of 26 matches.

In the 2010–11 season, the Taunton 1st XV finished in 7th position in their first season in National League 2 South.
