=== Men's team ===

The University of Oxford RFC was founded in 1869, fifteen months before the creation of the [[Rugby Football Union]]. The first Varsity Match was played in February 1872 in Oxford at '[[The Parks, Oxford|The Parks]]', the following year the return game was played in Cambridge on [[Parker's Piece]]. In 1874 it was decided that the game be played on a neutral ground. Oxford, like rivals Cambridge, have supplied hundreds of players to national teams, and was key in spreading the sport of rugby throughout Britain as past students brought the game back to their home counties. The very first international player to be capped whilst at Oxford was [[Cecil Boyle]], who represented [[England national rugby union team|England]] in [[1872–73 Home Nations rugby union matches|1873]], one season before Cambridge University. In 1951 OURFC became the first Western rugby team to tour [[Japan rugby team|Japan]] after [[World War II]].<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.ourfc.org/About.aspx|title=Oxford University RFC {{!}} About|website=Oxford University RFC|access-date=28 March 2019}}</ref>

OURFC currently has 3 Men's teams: 1st XV Blues, 2nd XV Greyhounds and 3rd XV Whippets. All three teams play Varsity matches against their respective Cambridge opponents. Additionally, there is also a Men's U20s squad which contest their own Varsity Match alongside the Women's 2nd XV.<ref name=":0" />

==== Major Stanley's Match ====

Major R. V. Stanley was an Oxford local who took a hearty interest in the development of OURFC, becoming its first representative on the RFU Committee 1903–27. The first recorded Stanley's Match took place in 1919, after the 1914 match was cancelled due to the outbreak of World War I. An invitational squad, similar to the Barbarians, the Major Stanley's XV historically drew in big name players such as [[Tom Voyce (rugby union, born 1897)|Thomas Voyce]] and [[Wavell Wakefield, 1st Baron Wakefield of Kendal|William Wavell Wakefield.]] Major Stanley's Match is an annual fixture played in preparation of [[the Varsity Match]] and recent Stanley's XVs have included [[Cardiff RFC]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ourfc.org/NewsItem.aspx?ID=4251|title=Men's Blues Squad Announced to Face Cardiff in the Major Stanley's Match|website=Oxford University RFC|date=13 November 2018|access-date=28 March 2019}}</ref> In 2019, the centenary year of the first Major Stanley's fixture, the Women's Blues faced the first ever Major Stanley's Women's XV.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ourfc.org/Stanleys.aspx|title=Oxford University RFC {{!}} Stanleys Match|website=www.ourfc.org|access-date=2020-02-27}}</ref>
