A Rugby Club for the community of Ampthill and the Local District The current clubhouse was built in 1980 and extended in the 1993.

The playing of the game of rugby in Ampthill can be traced back, via local news archives, to as far as 1881, reformed after WWII in 1950 the current club, Ampthill & District Rugby Union Football Club Ltd was incorporated in 1959 as a company limited by guarantee. The club originally played on a pitch located in Ampthill Park, then another in Station Road before acquiring the first 3 acres of it’s current home in 1958 from local farmer A J Woodward for the sum of £300! Despite levelling, ploughing and seeding the ground was unusable for the 1958/59 season thus a further year was spent playing at Station Road. A further 2 acres were soon acquired with the help of a grant from Bedfordshire Playing Fields Association and a loan from the RFU while changing facilities remained primitive and were located at the rear of what is now Parkside Hall. Two further pitches were acquired in 2011 making 4 playing pitches in total. During the season, some 120 adults turn up on Saturday and 400 children on a Sunday to enjoy and play rugby at our community & district club. This Facebook Group is open to people interested in either supporting or playing at the Ampthill RUFC of all ages from the U7 to Seniors and should be used responsibly.
