Manchester Medics RUFC is an English rugby union club based in Manchester, which currently plays in the Counties 4 ADM Lancashire & Cheshire for the 2022-23 season.[1]

The club is formed primarily by medical students from the University of Manchester, but a number of doctors and non-medical students are also involved.

It is one of the largest, most successful and social societies within the medical school. The 1st XV regularly plays on Saturdays, as well as a competitive "pre-clinical XV" playing midweek in a North West Universities development league. The club has enjoyed considerable past success, most notably being crowned NAMS champions for the 2014-2015 and 2018-19 seasons.[citation needed]
