The Monmouth Rugby Football Club was founded as the Brookdale College Rugby Football Club in the Fall of 1973 by Doug Coil and Steve Barberio who were teachers at the college. Brookdale suffered as all young clubs do through several undistinguished seasons, even changing it's colors several time sas not to be recognized the nest season! AS the years passed, the clubs players and leadership developed and the club eventually found itself playing int he Metropolitan Division I in the late 1970's.

The early 1980's saw some strong play by the now Monmouth Rugby Football Club and with some close loses to Old Blue (9-5 in 1980 and 18-9 in 1981). In 1984, the team moved back to Division II and experienced some more tough seasons / years. The early 90's brought the winning tradition back to Monmouth with a Jersey Cup championship and a return to Division I rugby. After some tough injuries and a few early retirements, the club suffered a couple of rough seasons. Since 1994, the club has shown it's resilience by winning three of four second side Jersey Cup championships and has appeard in the National playoff picture 5 times in the past 10 years. The club has made the quarterfinals twice within the 5 appearences, both years suffering close losses to to Snake River, Idaho.

After an undefeated season in 02', Monmouth was again brought up to Division I rugby in the Met Union. The club coupled with a declining membership and dificult scheduling endured for three years on the Division I level. The prospect of the Super League and competing against a larger population base brought us back to Division II. With great young leaders in the club and some older mentors, the club will be in strong contention for the years to come.
