With no fixture scheduled this weekend, it provides an ideal opportunity to reflect, discuss and plan ahead at Ystrad Rhondda RFC as preparations begin for the 2026 / 27 season and the next phase of the club’s development.

Behind the scenes, the club continues to build on strong foundations, with a focus on stability, sustainability and long-term progress. This period allows time to strengthen what is already in place and continue moving the club forward both on and off the field.

An Exciting Time to Be Involved

Competing in the Welsh Premiership, Ystrad Rhondda RFC operates in the same competition as clubs such as Pontypridd RFC and Neath RFC — both with long and proud histories at the top level of the game — alongside ambitious and well-resourced sides including Merthyr RFC.

With that in mind, the 2026 / 27 season presents a range of exciting opportunities across Ystrad Rhondda RFC — from enhancing the matchday experience to growing community engagement and commercial activity. The club remains committed to steady, positive progress and to competing with pride at the highest level of community rugby and the third tier of Welsh rugby overall, from the very top of the game down.

Off the field, we are keen to develop new partnerships and continue strengthening existing relationships that contribute to the club’s long-term ambitions. Our sponsors and partners play an important role in the journey, and their support helps underpin everything the club does.

Commercial & Partnership Opportunities

As planning for next season continues, we welcome enquiries from businesses and individuals interested in becoming part of the Ystrad Rhondda RFC story. A variety of partnership opportunities exist for the 2026 / 27 season, offering meaningful association with the club in a way that suits different objectives.

This includes involvement across matchdays, individual players, player awards, kit, events, sponsorship boards and digital content, as well as the opportunity to explore longer-term associations, including a ground naming rights partnership, for those interested in a deeper, more established relationship with the club.

Opportunities are flexible and can be shaped through conversation.

Looking Ahead

While competitive fixtures will resume in due course, this period provides a valuable chance to focus on planning, partnership and continuity.
