In one form or another Wellingborough Rugby Football has been around for well over 100 years.  According to the 1879 football year book there was a rugby team formed in Wellingborough that year.  The team played in black and white and played at Midland Road, Wellingborough.  However, the club seems to have been properly formed in 1899 when they began playing local teams on their pitch at Union Lane.
