Edinburgh Rugby, the club of the Scottish capital
Our Edinburgh Rugby page brings together the club's home jersey, its Pro player cut version, and the away socks. A range to support one of the two professional teams in Scotland, the heir of the district of Edinburgh which played the first match between districts against Glasgow in 1872, and based at the foot of Murrayfield.
Rugby at the foot of the castle.
From the district team to the professional club
The Edinburgh team descends from the district selection that faced Glasgow in 1872 during the first inter-district match in rugby history. When Scottish rugby turned professional in 1996, the federation created its district teams, including the capital's team, which was at one time known as Edinburgh Reivers and then Edinburgh Gunners before returning to the simple name of Edinburgh Rugby. It is one of the two professional teams in the country, competing in the United Rugby Championship.

A stadium at the foot of Murrayfield
Since 2021, the club has played in its own stadium, the Edinburgh Rugby Stadium, built right next to Murrayfield, the home of the Scottish selection. Compact, with around seven thousand eight hundred seats and a synthetic pitch, it brings the public closer to the field, while bigger matches can still take place in the large nearby stadium. On the European stage, Edinburgh reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in 2012 and the European Challenge final in 2015.
Home jersey or Pro version
The home jersey in the supporter version has a loose fit, pleasant for the stands and everyday wear. The Pro version takes the fit worn on the field: closer to the body, with a lightweight fabric that dries quickly, it is aimed at those who play or appreciate fitted cuts. The socks complete an amateur player's outfit in the club's colours. Together, these pieces allow you to show your support for the capital’s team, at Murrayfield as well as on club pitches.
Good deals
Great deals can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 1872 Cup?
It is the trophy contested each season between Edinburgh and Glasgow, in memory of the first inter-district match of 1872. The matches, often scheduled around Christmas, attract large crowds.
What is the link between Edinburgh and the Scotland team?
Like Glasgow, Edinburgh belongs to the Scottish federation and provides a large portion of the players for the national team. Following the club means keeping up with several internationals on a daily basis.
What size to choose for the Pro jersey?
The Pro version, cut close to the body like that of the players, is meant to be fitted: take one size up for a more comfortable fit. The classic home jersey should be bought in your usual size.
How to care for a rugby jersey?
Wash it at thirty degrees, inside out, without fabric softener, and let it air dry. Avoid tumble drying and ironing, as they can damage the badges and heat-sealed logos.
How to get to Edinburgh Stadium?
The stadium is located west of the city centre, next to Murrayfield, and can be reached by tram from Princes Street. Expect about twenty minutes of travel time from the centre.
