Caernarfon Rugby Football Club (Welsh: Clwb Rygbi Caernarfon) is a rugby union team from the town of Caernarfon, Gwynedd, North Wales. They currently play in the Welsh Rugby Union Division One North League.
The club was formed in 1973, and the grounds are located at Y Morfa, Lon Parc, Caernarfon.
The club colours are maroon and yellow.
The club has a First, a Second XV, a Youth team (Under 19) and a Women’s Team. There is an extensive junior section consisting of Under 16, Under 14, Under 13, Under 12, Under 11, Under 10, Under 9 and Under 8 teams.
The club's First Team competes in the WRU Division One North, including teams such as Nant Conwy, Llandudno, and Pwllheli. The first team is well-known for being a strong contender in the area and has been for a while. They have recently appointed a set of new coaches to help with their lacklustre few seasons at The Morfa. Caernarfon RFC's head coach, Carl Russell Owen, has proven himself, and during the 22/23 season, the team finished fourth in the league.
Caernarfon became the first team from North Wales to win the WRU Division One Cup in the 24/25 season, beating Bridgend Athletic 30-29 at the Principality Stadium.
