England Rugby (Rugby Football Union), a privately owned organization founded in 1871, is the governing body for rugby union in England. It oversees both amateur and professional levels of the sport, encompassing approximately 2,000 independent rugby clubs. As of 2023, the organization employed 1120 people and reported revenues of around $250 million. Its headquarters are located in the United Kingdom.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) confirmed its openness to discussions with Chelsea Football Club regarding a potential groundshare at Twickenham Stadium. This groundshare would allow Chelsea to temporarily relocate while redevelopment work takes place at Stamford Bridge. However, any agreement is contingent upon securing local council approval. Separately, Allianz Stadium, formerly known as Twickenham Stadium, concluded a second consultation in March 2025 on proposals to increase non-sporting events. The RFU participated in this consultation. These events are unrelated to a separate rugby match between the Northern sub-union team and Rangitīkei on Matariki Friday, which took place under the Whanganui Rugby Football Union.
