Their best-known rugby product is Geoff Wheel, who captained Swansea RFC and was the cornerstone of the Welsh pack in the successful national side of the 1970s.

The first team has also toured other countries, including England, Ireland, Europe, the United States, and Canada.

On November 10, 2014, Mumbles RFC were granted planning permission by Swansea council to build a clubhouse next to Underhill Park.

The WRU voted that Mumbles should play the 2014–15 season in the newly formed Division One West Central, only three levels below the Pro14.

Several Mumbles players have a dual contract with Swansea and many go on to play for the Ospreys, most recently Aled Jenkins.
