Hamilton Rugby Football Club is a rugby union side based in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire.

Established in 1927 as Hamilton Academy FP (former pupils) rugby club, they play their home games at Laigh Bent, and currently compete in the RBS Championship League A (West), the 3rd tier of Scottish club rugby.

The Club invests heavily in Youth Development and boasts age group teams from primary 1 through to under 18. The club's U18 squad is one of only 16 teams in Scotland to regularly qualify for the National U18 cup competition. In 2009, Hamilton RFC signed an agreement allowing British American Football League side The East Kilbride Pirates to play their home fixtures at Laigh Bent.
