Their home ground is Glyncynwal Park View, Cwmtwrch. Cwmtwrch currently have a Senior XV who play in the WRU Division Five South West league and is a feeder club for the Ospreys.[1]

1880-1914

In 1890 an official Cwmtwrch team took the field for the first time; though it is presumed that rugby had been played in the town before this. The first ground for Cwmtwrch RFC, Glyncawl Park View, is the pitch the team still plays on today; since returning there after the Second World War.

The club's first captain was not recorded until 1903 when D.Davies held the position.

In 1909 Cwmtwrch RFC merged with neighbouring club, Cwmllynfell.
