The Heart of Our Success In London

Rising XVs rugby teams are at the heart of our success, with coaches, players and volunteers working together to develop skills, resilience and sportsmanship.

From a Small Idea to a National Impact

Rising XV began with a handful of players and a simple belief that rugby can change lives and strengthen communities. What started as a local club has grown into a national movement, running competitive teams and community programmes that have given thousands of young people skills, confidence and opportunities.

Founded on the values of integrity, excellence and inclusion, Rising XV has built a culture where everyone is encouraged to bring their best every day — not just for our players, but for each other and the communities we serve.

Playing for Rising XV is like joining a band of mischievous mates: we tackle hard, celebrate harder and always leave the pitch grinning. Every game is equal parts adrenaline and laughter, and wearing the Rising XV shirt makes even the mud feel like a badge of honour.
