History

Kenilworth Rugby Club was formed in 1924. The 2000s saw the club progress up the league pyramid in recent years and reached level 5 and played in National League 3 Midlands until two consecutive relegations saw the club drop back to the seventh level, before promotion in 2012–13 back to level 6. After promotion in 2021–22 the Men's 1st XV reached level 5 again and now play in Regional 1 Midlands.

Kenilworth RFC have a successful Women's section which was formed in 2015. After a number of promotions they now play in the 2nd tier of league rugby [2]
