Our Heritage
& Global Tournaments
Founded in 1886, the legendary Hong Kong Football Club (HKFC) has witnessed the development of Hong Kong rugby for over a century, as the oldest rugby club in Hong Kong and venue of the first game of Rugby Union played at our grounds.
Our members founded the world-renowned Hong Kong International Rugby Sevens in 1976 and created the acclaimed HKFC 10s tournament in 1986, now recognised as the “World’s Best 10s”. That tournament was organised a celebration of the Club’s centenary and has welcomed Rugby World Cup winners and Olympians alike.
Hong Kong Football Club is also a World Record holder, as the host of the World’s Largest Mini Rugby Tournament in 2010. We have evolved that tournament to now become a global tournament, the HKFC Youth 10s – that includes competitions for boys and girls from the Under 6 to Under 18 age groups
Both tournaments are hosted at our grounds that sit within the iconic Happy Valley racecourse, welcoming international teams and fans each year. As one of the largest and most successful private sports clubs in Asia, we offer world-class facilities, a vibrant social scene, and a commitment to community engagement.
