Stafford is a very old rugby club, founded in 1876 and the first match played was on the 24th February 1876, Stafford v Newport, with Stafford winning by "one goal and two tries to one goal" The club played at several locations but by 1912 it had moved to a ground where what was Dorman's Works stands, on the Tixall Rd. During the First World War all of the team joined the Army, of which only two players returned. A photo of this team is on display in the club house. After the war the Club played at a ground on Rickerscote Rd, changing in the Bath Inn, near Tenterbanks, and players had to walk or cycle to the ground.

In 1949 the Club moved to a new ground at Castlefields Newport Road under a 99 year lease from Lord Stafford. Having its own ground had a huge effect on improving standards, with many players representing firstly North Midlands, then, when it was recognised as a full county in its own right, Staffordshire. In 1964 Staffordshire became a Senior County and with several players from Stafford in the team, won theCounty Championship in 1970 beating Gloucestershire 11 – 9.

In 2019 Stafford moved again after many years of planning and discussion with their Club Patron Lord Stafford to a new ground and clubhouse at Blackberry Lane, Doxey.
