Oldham RLFC
The Roughyeds. Oldham RLFC are one of rugby league's founding clubs and a proud institution in the sport's heartland. This is rugby league — not union — and Oldham have been part of the game's fabric since the very beginning, with four Championship titles and a history stretching back to 1876.
History
Founded in 1876, Oldham RLFC are one of the oldest rugby league clubs in the world and were among the clubs that formed the Northern Rugby Football Union in 1895 — the breakaway from rugby union that created the sport of rugby league. Their four Championship titles came in the early decades of the sport, cementing their place as one of the game's founding powers.
Oldham have experienced the full spectrum of rugby league — from Championship glory to the lower divisions and back again. The Roughyeds have a passionate fanbase in the Greater Manchester town of Oldham and carry the proud working-class tradition of northern rugby league with enormous pride. Their distinctive red and white colours are a familiar sight in the rugby league heartlands of the north of England.
