This collection has been acquired over the years from international players, families, clubs and collectors, or has been bought by the Museum at auction.

Since the birth of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) in 1871 a wealth of rugby memorabilia has been accumulated. Dusty minute books and faded letters; early match programmes and tickets for memorable games: the fascinating array of gifts from other unions. In more recent times, with a more deliberate acquisition policy, our collection has developed to include historical and contemporary photographs, videos, artworks, equipment and other miscellaneous objects.
The main themes of collection:
•Famous players’ memorabilia/objects (from any nation)
•Supporter memorabilia/objects
•Early development of the game, artefacts of historical importance
•Artwork with a rugby theme, or relevance to rugby history
•Miscellaneous objects highlighting humour and the social aspects of the rugby lifestyle
•A library of rugby match programmes
•Archival items focusing specifically on the RFU, England and Twickenham Stadium
