About Currie Chieftains

Currie Rugby Football Club was founded in April 1970 and played its first match against Gala Wanderers in the October of that year.
We've come a long way since our formation back in 1970. These days, we're proud to be competing in the Scottish Premiership where the standard is high, and the demands on the Club are even higher. We have an enviable record in the Premiership as Champions in Season 2023-24 and Play off finalists in Season 2024-25. Running a Club like this takes more than passion and pride, it takes a great team. Without our staff team, we simply couldn't deliver the level of rugby, community outreach, and youth development that we do today.

?Our work in the local community, our growing youth section of over 400 young players, our thriving ladies and girls' section and the increasing crowds we're drawing in every week. In short, this is a Club with history, ambition, and momentum.
