About the Club

Founded in 1977

Nearly fifty years of Kenyan rugby.

Mwamba Rugby Football Club was founded in Nairobi in 1977 to promote rugby among indigenous Kenyans, at a time when the game remained largely the preserve of white settlers. The name, Swahili for rock, reflects what the club stands for: stability, a firm commitment to local talent and loyalty to the vision of its founders.

For some 43 years the club called the Nairobi Railway Club home, until land there was acquired for the Nairobi Expressway. In May 2026 the men won the KRU Championship to return to the Kenya Cup after a single season away, one week after the women secured a fifth consecutive Kenya Cup title.
