Patrons

The World Rugby Museum Patrons' Circle is a select group of individuals committed to the long-term preservation of rugby culture and heritage. With the help of our patrons, we are able to collect and preserve the relics of our game and bring them to new audiences.

Background

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) collection began with the minutes produced to document the first meeting of the RFU in 1871. Since then, it has grown to include some of the most recognisable and iconic artefacts in world sport.

The World Rugby Museum is a charitable organisation that celebrates and shares the unique history, culture and tradition of rugby union in all its forms, wherever and by whomsoever it is played.

Our patrons help us preserve the material already in our collection and collect material of importance to be kept in perpetuity for future generations of rugby fans.
