Cartha Athletic Club was founded in 1889. The 'athletic' club played a number of sports: Cricket, Athletics, Rugby, Tennis, Hockey... the association was hence named Cartha. The rugby union section was established in 1906. In 1974 Cartha RFC and Queens Park F.P. merged to form the present day rugby union club.
The club runs four adult XVs for men and women catering for all abilities and levels of experience.
