Richmond Football Club

Richmond Football Club is a rugby union club from Richmond, London. It is a founding member of the Rugby Football Union, and is one of the oldest football (of any code) clubs. It fields teams in both men's and women's rugby, with the men's first team playing in National Division Three South, and the women's first team playing in the women' premiership.

Formed in 1861, it is one of the oldest football clubs in the world. It holds a significant place in the history of Association football, playing in the first ever match on December 19, 1863, against the Barnes Club, even though it was not a member of the Football Association. In 1878 it hosted the first ever floodlit match and in 1909 played in the inaugural match at Twickenham Stadium, the home of English Rugby.
