History of Plymouth Albion RFC

PARFC was born in 1875, raised from a hardcore of Devonport Dockyard Apprentices.

Albion's 128 year history includes England International greats from James Peters 1902 to the current Director of Rugby Graham Dawe.

Success has seen Plymouth Albion rise from Division 3 to National Divison 1 in three years.

Plymouth Albion celebrated its 125th Anniversary season during 2000-2001, having been started in 1876 by a group of apprentices from the Royal Naval Dockyard in Devonport. Albion first played at Devonport Park and the players and officials carried the goal posts and flags to the park. There were no facilities so the players had to return home for a bath after the match!
