About The Wildcats
The heart of Rugby League in Hyndburn. We are more than just a club; we are a community dedicated to the growth of the game in East Lancashire.
More Than Just A Rugby Club
Accrington Wildcats ARLFC stands as the premier Rugby League club in Hyndburn. We are a community-focused organization dedicated to fostering the growth of Rugby League in East Lancashire.
Founded on the principles of inclusivity and hard work, we provide a pathway for players of all ages and abilities. From our "Cubs" development squad introducing the youngest players to the ball, through our competitive junior ranks, all the way to our Open Age Men's team.
We are entirely run by a dedicated team of volunteers who serve as coaches, committee members, and match-day staff. Their passion is the fuel that drives the Wildcats forward, ensuring that every player has a safe, fun, and competitive environment to develop their skills.
