Sussex Rugby Football Union

We are a 'Constituent Body' (known as a 'CB') of the Rugby Football Union, the ruling authority of the game in England, who devolve to us the responsibility of governing all Rugby Union played in the ancient County of Sussex.
 
Sussex RFU covers the administrative areas of East and West Sussex, and the City of Brighton and Hove, within the ancient County of Sussex which runs for 90 miles (144 kms) along the South coast of England.
