Malvern Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in the town of Malvern, Worcestershire, England. They currently play in Regional 2 West Midlands, a tier 6 league in the English rugby union system – after being relegated from Midlands 1 West at the end of the 2018–19 season. The club has three senior sides; 1st XV, Development XV, and 3rd XV. It also boasts an academy, the Ian Budd Academy, named after the late Ian Budd, the founder of the academy. The club also has junior and mini sides from under-7s all the way up to under-16s, before these players graduate into the Academy, and often into the senior sides from there.
The facilities at Malvern RFC also support rugby in the community, with The King's School, Worcester, 1st XV training there often, under the floodlights, as well as the University of Worcester using the 1st XV pitch for its BUCS fixtures on Wednesdays.
Malvern were relegated from the National leagues at the end of the 2012–13 season and returned to Midlands West One. They appointed former Gloucester Rugby player Rob Cook as director of rugby in 2017.
