There are rumours that rugby has been played in Hinckley since 1880. However at the end of 1892 the Hinckley Rugby club's inaugural meeting was held at Hinckley Grammar School (New Buildings), the ground was to be the George Croft (the fairground) and the headquarters based at the George Hotel. The first matches fully reported were in 1893.
Stoneygate, Belgrave, Newbold-on-Avon, Coalville, Aylestone St. James, Westleigh were the order of the day in these formulative years, plus teams now long forgotten. For example, in 1905 Hinckley were playing in the Leicestershire Rugby Union Combination Division III against the likes of Leicester Harlequins, Inglesants, Gas and Electric, West End and Wheatsheaf.
