Orkney Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club located in the town of Kirkwall, Scotland.

Orkney RFC was founded in 1966.^[1]

In recent years Orkney have progressed through the regional league system to play in Scotland's national league set-up. This was a position they maintained for 4 years.

In season 2018–19, despite beating the Division 3 champions elect Gordonians at the end of March 2019, Perthshire's win at Caithness ensured that Orkney would be relegated back into the regional league system.^[2]
