Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox rugby team Durham City Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in the city of Durham, County Durham. The first XV currently play in North 1 East, a sixth tier league in the English rugby union system. The club runs several senior teams, a colts side and the full range of junior sides.[1]
League history
When league rugby was introduced in 1987, Durham City was allocated a place in the fourth tier, playing in Area 4 North, ending the first season as runners-up. The club stayed at that level until 1993 when a league restructure by the RFU saw the club placed in a new fifth tier - Courage League Division 5. However the club was relegated from that league after just one season[2] and the club has subsequently played in the regional leagues, fluctuating between North 1 East and Durham/Northumberland 1.

Ground
The club have played at Hollow Drift on Green Lane, Durham, since 1885.[5] The current stand was erected in 1950 as both a war memorial (the memorial plaque is now on the front of the club house) and a replacement for the previous grandstand that was in poor condition and had been damaged by a gale in 1942.[6]
The ground is part of the Durham University estate (although the club house is not), and is also used by Durham University RFC. It was identified in the university's 2017–2027 masterplan as one of the sites 'for possible strategic investment',[7] and, as of 2022, the university had raised £500,000 towards a £1.5 million goal to redevelop the ground, including a new 500-seat stand and an artificial grass pitch.[8]
