Our Upcoming Season: 2025-26

We're excited to compete in the Women’s NC1 league this season, starting in September 2025 and running through to spring 2026.

Join Us

Whether you're an experienced player or new to the sport, we welcome all new members throughout the season - from absolute beginner looking to try something new, to the seasoned pro. For those new to rugby or with less experience, we offer opportunities to develop your skills through local friendly matches until you're ready for NC1. Experienced players looking to advance will be able to compete at the NC1 level.

Off the Pitch

We have a lively social calendar year-round, culminating in our legendary End of Season Awards night. Come join us this August to watch the Women's World Cup in true Hitchin style - matches being shown are in the fixtures tab on the website or keep an eye on our Instagram @HitchinLadies. 

Training 

Join us for training every Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM at Hitchin Rugby Club, Old Hale Way, Hitchin, SG5 1XL.

Interested in getting involved? Come along on a Tuesday or Thursday and ask for Lofty (Chris Watts, our Head Coach) or Becky ('Mrs Nuts', our Recruitment Secretary). Alternatively, you can email us at hitchinrugby@gmail.com or DM us on Instagram to speak with Megs or Dina, our Social Secretaries. Matches are usually played on Sundays, and all supporters are welcome – including dogs (on leads) in our clubhouse!

Our History

Formed in 1992, our team has grown significantly over the years. In 2016, we were honoured with both the Hitchin Rugby Club Team of the Year and Comet Sport Awards Team of the Year, thanks to our increasing numbers, league success, and a successful charity calendar. Our 2018/19 season was a marker of success, as we won our league undefeated and earned promotion. We continued to excel, competing in the Championship 2 league for the 2023-2024 season, showcasing the grit and resilience of our team.
