Briton Ferry Rugby Football Club is a rugby union team from the village of Briton Ferry, South Wales. Although rugby was played in the area prior to 1888, it wasn't until the merger of several smaller local teams the Briton Ferry RFC was formed. The original team was bolstered by many steel workers recruited from the local works. Their first international player was E.V. Pegge, who in 1891 represented Wales against England, though at the time was playing for Neath RFC.
Briton Ferry RFC presently play in the Welsh Rugby Union Division Three South West League.
