Bahrain Rugby Football Club quite simply put, is historically the regions most successful rugby club.. Having dominated the early years of the regions competitions, the club provided a majority of players to the Arabian Gulf’s teams prior to their disbandment.

Bahrain RFC has committed firmly towards restoring themselves to the top of the tree within the region and has taken on professional coaching and medical support, as well as recruiting players from across the globe. In the last few seasons, Bahrain RFC’s 1^st Team, 2^nd Team and Veterans teams have re-established themselves as contenders for silverware in all of the regions competitions.

Having been crowned West Asia Cup Champions & Gulf Conference champions during the 2018/2019 season, our first and second team have become a part of the club that exemplifies our values and inspires members of all ages to experience the different sports and social opportunities that we offer.

The Bahrain RFC 1st XV and their stablemates the Firbolgs (2nd XV) both train together twice per week. The coaching is geared towards the two side’s entry to their competitive regional leagues, such as the West Asia Premiership and the Gulf Conference. Specialised blocks of training also take place leading up to the regions 7’s, 10’s and 15s tournaments.

Training is officially 7.30pm until 9.00pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings with video analysis and additional conditioning sessions being held on a regular basis.

The ‘Golden Oldies’ is a squad made up of the club’s more senior players, with the official qualification being that they are over the age of 35. A club within a club, the G.O’s never fail to support anything and everything going on, and can be seen entering events across the region as well as touring annually.

Local Rugby consists of a sequence of friendly games with visiting navy sides, as well as those from across the bridge in Saudi Arabia. Training is officially 7.00pm until 8.30pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings, however this is at a far more sedate pace and often joins with the Social Touch Rugby sessions to round off.
