Harris Academy FPRFC is a rugby union club based in Dundee, Scotland, originally for the former pupils of Harris Academy. It was originally founded on the 5th of November 1926 in Room 8 of Harris Academy. The club ciesed to exist throughout the latter part of the 90's and the first half of the 00's due to dwindling numbers. However, the club was reformed in August 2007 with an ever growing enthusiasm from former players curbed with a large senior squad of players who had left the school the previous season after a successful tour to Latvia which saw them beat a local club side before going on to be beeaten by a Latvian under 19 select squad. The club currently plays its home games at Elliot Road while The Speedwell Bar currently provides as a club house offering post-match food and beverages.
Harris currently competes in Caledonia League 1.
The club is currently coached by duo Bruce Beckett and Graeme Spowart who are both faculty of Dundee High School.
