Club history

Founded in 1894, the founding team that would become Abercrave RFC began playing on a field opposite the local church. The first team switched pitches several times before settling on a field behind the Lamb and Flag Inn. As with the majority of village teams in Wales, the club disbanded during the First World War, but reformed in 1919, using the Red Lion Inn as their unofficial headquarters. The club playing field changed again, and until 1945 the team played on grounds beside the River Tawe. The team finally settled at the Plas-y-Ddol in 1958, which has been the club's main ground to the present day.
