Teignmouth R.F.C is a Rugby Union club based in Teignmouth, Devon, England. The Club was officially formed in January 1874.
They play at Bitton Park Sports Ground having played Rugby here since 1904, with the exception of the 1906/07 and 1982/83 seasons.
When league Rugby was launched in England for the 1987/88 season, Teignmouth were placed in the Cornwall & Devon league.
The 2000/01 season was a black year for Teignmouth Rugby Football Club. December 2000 saw the Club closed down and put into the hands of the administrator due to an unpaid VAT bill. With the Club facing closure a rescue package was launched with members reaching deep into their pockets to raise enough money in order to buy the Club back.
On the field Teignmouth finally ended their tenure in the Cornwall & Devon league after 13 years. In a season badly affected by the foot and mouth crisis, which saw a number of games unplayed, Teignmouth finished mid-table but due to the effects of relegation in higher divisions, Teignmouth were relegated to Devon 1 division.
Teignmouth were only to spend one season in the lower division. They finished runners-up and met the runners-up of the Cornwall 1 division, Mount's Bay, at their Penzance home. Teignmouth won a hotly contested match, 14-17.
Teignmouth once again found themselves relegated to Devon 1 in 2005/06. Teignmouth dominated the division and won promotion as Champions for 2006/07.
