About us
Founded in 1877, the Devon Rugby Football Union is a broadly based body to promote, manage and be accountable for the development of the game and to maintain it’s true spirit for the benefit of all participants.
The philosophy of county administrators has to be the promotion of those interests without regard to club membership or allegiance.
