Camborne RFC was established in 1878, known locally by fans as 'Town', are one of the most famous rugby union clubs in Cornwall. Having been promoted from Regional 1 South West, a level five league in the English rugby union system, Camborne RFC play in National League 2 West finishing in 2nd place in the 2024 - 25 season, missing out narrowly to Clifton RFC.
When the rugby union leagues were introduced in 1987, Camborne was the highest placed Cornish team and played in Area 4 South. They are also one of the most successful club sides in Cornwall having won the Cornish Cup ten times as of 2016 – level with local rivals Redruth – following a record fourth title in a row in 2016. Camborne enjoys a strong a rivalry with neighbours Redruth, with the two clubs meeting each year, in what was once erroneously believed to be the world's longest enduring rugby fixture.
