A timeline of key moments that have shaped Carmarthen RFC into the club it is today.
A group of local sportsmen established Carmarthen RFC, making it one of the oldest rugby clubs in Wales. The club played its earliest matches on Priory Street field before finding a permanent home.
The club secured a long-term lease at Carmarthen Park, which remains the club's home to this day. Improvements over the decades have turned it into a proud ground befitting the club's ambition.
Following the Second World War, the club rebuilt quickly. The late 1940s and 1950s saw Carmarthen RFC compete regularly against the top sides in Wales, drawing crowds of over two thousand to home fixtures.
One of the club's proudest moments — the first West Wales league championship, secured on points difference on the final day of the season. The trophy was lifted in front of a packed clubhouse.
Recognising the importance of developing local talent, the club launched its formal junior section. What started with two age groups has grown into one of the largest junior programmes in Carmarthenshire.
Carmarthen RFC Ladies was formally established, reflecting the growth of women's rugby across Wales. The side quickly built a competitive squad and became a fixture in regional women's leagues.
A major capital investment funded through grants, sponsorship, and fundraising saw the clubhouse fully refurbished. The improved facilities include a modern bar, function room for 200 guests, and upgraded changing rooms.
After a restructure of Welsh regional rugby, Carmarthen RFC competes in WRU Division One West. The club has invested in coaching, analysis, and player welfare, and is targeting promotion to the Premiership in the coming seasons.
Whether you are an experienced player or stepping onto a pitch for the first time, there is a place for you at Carmarthen RFC.
Our flagship side competes in WRU Division One West and represents the pinnacle of the club's playing ambitions. Coached to a high standard with a focus on structured, expansive rugby.
