Burnley Rugby Union Football Club (Burnley RUFC) is a rugby union club that currently plays in the South Lancs/Cheshire 2 league (the 9th tier of the English rugby union system) following their relegation from North Lancashire/Cumbria at the end of the 2017–18 season. The club was founded in 1926 as Calder Vale Rugby Club but the 2002 - 03 season saw the name of 75 years changed to help raise Burnley's rugby profile locally and beyond. The club plays from Holden Road, the site of Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club in the Reedley area of Burnley. The club's motto is "Nil Nisi Optimum Sufficiet" (which the true Burnleyite would translate as: "Nowt But Best Will Do").
