The North Midlands Rugby Football Union is a governing body for rugby union in part of The Midlands, England.

[1] The North Midlands RFU was founded at a meeting in Birmingham on 14 January 1920.

The area had previously been part of the Midland Counties Rugby Union, from which Warwickshire split in 1914, with further changes in 1919 leading to Leicestershire Rugby Union becoming a county on its own and North Midlands being created for the Birmingham, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire areas.

The majority of the clubs in the union's initial membership came from the Birmingham area.

[4] Honours Among the Clubs affiliated with the North Midlands RFU, most have teams at both senior and junior level, although some of the more prominent second teams have also been listed by the North Midlands RFU as affiliated clubs.
