Kidwelly RFC is a rugby union club representing the town of Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire, South Wales. Rugby was first played in Kidwelly around 1880, though as is usual within early Welsh rugby history, no written evidence exists to give an exact year of formation.
Between 1890 and 1891 former Kidwelly RFC senior player, Stephen Thomas, represented Wales in three international games, though at the time of these matches he played for Llanelli RFC. Two other former Kidwelly players, Ray Gravell and Gerald Davies went on to represent their country, though Gravelle had only played for the Kidwelly youth team.
