Stourbridge RFC is a rugby union side based in Stourbridge, West Midlands and play in the fifth tier of the English rugby union league system; Regional 1 Midlands. They play their home games at Stourton Park, which was redeveloped in 2003 to provide a larger clubhouse and social area which can also be used for weddings and other functions. The ground is in the hamlet of Stourton set amongst the Staffordshire countryside, on the outskirts of the town of Stourbridge.

On 9 February 2023, the owners of Sixways Stadium announced that Stourbridge would be moving 20 miles to Worcester to replace Worcester Warriors as tenants following the Warriors disbandment, and be rebranding as "Sixways Rugby".[2]
