Risca RFC is a Welsh rugby union team based in Risca. Risca RFC plays in the Welsh Rugby Union, Division Four East League. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons.
Risca RFC was founded in 1875 and it has been one of the leading clubs in what was, before the advent of the leagues, known as the "Monmouthshire League".
Over the years Risca have supplied Newport with many fine players - four of them becoming captains of that famous club. The reverse was rarely the case and most of Risca's captains have been born, bred and learned the basics of the game with RISC. From 1921 to 1958 there was never one season without at least one ex-Risca player in the Newport first team, a period of 37 years.
