Football stats. England footy stats. RFU. RFU WIKIPEDIA. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is the governing body for rugby union in England. It was founded in 1871 and was the sport's international governing body prior to the formation of the International Rugby Board (IRB) in 1886. It promotes and runs the sport, organises international matches for the England national team and educates and trains players and officials. The RFU is an industrial and provident society owned by over 2,000 member clubs,[3] representing over 2.5 million registered players,[4] and forms the largest rugby union society in the world, and one of the largest sports organisations in England.
It is based at Twickenham Stadium, London. In September 2010 the women's rugby body the Rugby Football Union for Women (RFUW) was integrated into the RFU as a "constituent body", and whilst it retains some independence within the organisation, its adoption of RFU structures and management effectively unify the men's and women's sport under a single governing body.
