Littlemore Rugby Football Club is an English rugby union club based in Littlemore, Oxford. The club runs senior men's teams and a minis section. The first XV currently plays in Counties 4 Berks/Bucks & Oxon North, a league at the tenth tier of the English rugby union system.

History

The club was founded in 1976. Originally based at The George public house, the club eventually moved to grounds at Peers School (now The Oxford Academy).

In 1985, the club built its own clubhouse on the school grounds, a rare arrangement for a grassroots club at the time.

The club has experienced fluctuating fortunes in local leagues. In 2015, the club publicly celebrated its 40th anniversary, marking a "rebirth" after a period where they had been unable to fulfil league fixtures. Following this resurgence, the club won the BB&O Championship title in the 2016–17 season.

September 2017, The Littlemore RFC clubhouse was broken into by a 'career' criminal.[1]

In May 2022, The founding member Lynn Evans was celebrated at the 45th Annual Gala dinner, the event took place at the Randolph Hotel.[2]

In October 2023, Littlemore was featured in the Oxford Mail as fathers(John Keown and Darren Massey) and their sons(Archie Keown and Jack Massey) played in the same game against Didcot II and won the match.[3]
