Plymouth Albion Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in Plymouth, Devon, England. The club was founded in 1876, making it one of the older rugby clubs in the South West of England. It competes in regional leagues within the English rugby union system and has historically played in higher tiers, including National League 1, though its current league status may vary due to promotions and relegations.
The team plays its home matches at The Brickfields, a sports complex in Plymouth that has undergone redevelopment in recent years to support both community and professional sports. Plymouth Albion has contributed players to county and regional representative teams and has been involved in promoting rugby at grassroots levels.
The club maintains a traditional rivalry with Launceston Rugby Club, with matches between the two referred to as the "Devon Derby," although this designation is informal.
