History

Mansfield Rugby Club was formed in 1956 and by 1977 the club had bought its own ground at Eakring Road. The club was placed in Midlands 1 when the league system was introduced in 1987.[2] A reorganisation of the leagues resulted in the club moving to Midlands 2 East but Mansfield has since gained two promotions, moving into National 3 Midlands in 2011. However recent seasons have seen several relegations and the club is now playing at a level similar to where the club was a decade earlier.
