Durham University Rugby Football Club is one of the most successful university rugby teams in the UK. The 1st XV compete in the highest standard of university rugby; the BUCS Super League. Since the founding of BUCS Super Rugby (BSR) in 2016, Durham have been crowned BSR champions on two occasions, in the 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 seasons. DURFC have produced countless international players including the likes of Will Greenwood and Will Carling, and more recently Paul Brown-Bampoe and Guy Pepper
