Neyland Rugby Football Club claim to have been founded in 1885 and celebrated their 125th anniversary during the 2011–12 season. In 1946, just after the reformation of competitive rugby in Wales after the events of the Second World War, the club formed a joint committee with the local cricket club to purchase a playing field. The playing fields would, in 1963, become part of the local Athletics Club. In 2015, Neyland Rugby Football Club turned 130 years old. Five years later, in 2020, the club celebrated its 135th anniversary year.
