The men's 1st XV currently play in Regional 2 South West – a league at level 6 of the English rugby union system.

Teignmouth RFC was officially formed in January 1874 and have played at Bitton Park Sports Ground since 1904, with the exception of the 1906–07 and 1982–83 seasons.

December 2000 saw the club closed down and put into administration due to an unpaid VAT bill.

Teignmouth were only to spend one season in the lower division, finishing second and meeting the runner-up of Cornwall League 1, Mount's Bay, at their Penzance ground.

To cap a memorable season, they also won the Devon Intermediate Cup, with victory against Kingsbridge.
