Selkirk Rugby Football Club are a rugby union side based in Selkirk in the Borders, Scotland.

They play in their home games at Philiphaugh, and are now in Premiership Division One and Border League (the oldest established rugby union league in the world).

The club was officially instituted in 1907, but the game of rugby was played in the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Selkirk long before this date. In 1877 a game described as the first to be played under rules took place at Philiphaugh.Indeed Selkirk sent a team to the inaugural Melrose Sevens tournament back in 1883, and have been trying to win the Tournament ever since.

The club has produced twelve Scotland internationalists and several British Lions, a very respectable amount when the size of the royal burgh is taken into consideration.

Selkirk's own Sevens takes place annually in August. First competed in 1919, the competition makes up part of the Kings of the Sevens tournament.Current holders of the trophy are Selkirk RFC.
