2025 represents 150 years of Durham University Rugby Club. Following a special day of rugby in Durham in May, we continue the celebrations with the official launch of the club's 1875 Society for alumni and supporters in December. This is coupled with a BUCS Super Rugby fixture - Durham University vs Cardiff University - at Rosslyn Park, London.
Two Barbarians rugby players in black and white jerseys tackle a Durham University rugby player (centre) in a purple shirt, holding the rugby ball.
Named after the year our rugby club (DURFC) was founded, the 1875 Society has provided a robust community to maintain the relationships and camaraderie experienced by former DURFC players.
Join them to celebrate their official launch, by coming along to a get-together to support a DURFC match at Rosslyn Park Rugby Club, London.
Meet members of the Society's Board, enjoy the thrill of the match, and reunite with other Durham University alumni at this festive time of year.
Our 1st XV rugby team will take on Cardiff University in a British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Super League fixture.
Prepare for an intense battle as these two sides aim to improve their BUCS league table position.
The match takes place on Friday 12 December at Rosslyn Park Rugby Club, London.
