Champions of N2N 2016, Cheshire Cup Winners 2016 and 2nd Team League Champions. A family rugby club boasting a large Junior Section and 4 playing teams. Macclesfield Rugby Union Football Club is a totally inclusive organisation which believes in developing its players throughout their journey from Mini to Junior and Youth rugby, and eventually into the senior game where the National Stage beckons to showcase their skills. Situated in 27 acres of Cheshire green belt the Club fields’ four senior sides and a comprehensive, successful range of Youth, Mini and Junior sides. After having a number of different grounds, M.R.U.F.C. came to Priory Park in 1980, which is just a “stone’s throw” away from its first ever site in 1877. Among a number of notable land marks since the move, an extremely significant one involved M.R.U.F.C. being one of only 12 Clubs who took part in the RFU’s first structured pilot league known as the “North West Girobank League”. The success of this trial helped give the RFU the impetus to roll out its league system over the whole country and since that first pilot scheme back in the mid-eighties the Blues have always been involved in the League structure.
