The museum is located across the street from Rugby School in the historic building where boot and shoemakers William and James Gilbert relocated from High Street in 1842 to expand their rugby football manufacturing business. Match balls have been hand-stitched on this site for over 180 years. A wealth of rugby memorabilia for rugby enthusiasts. This legacy lives on at Webb Ellis Ltd today, earning the company the distinction of having the world’s oldest continuous affiliation with rugby. The collection is divided into four sections, each with a different theme. The roots, the players, the game, and the ball are among them.
