History

Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Formed on 9 November 1871,[1] the club was a giant of the 1870s, winning the FA Cup 2–0 against Royal Engineers in 1874 and finishing the competition as runners-up in 1873, 1877 and 1880, the last year they competed.[2] The club merged with OUWAFC, the women's club, in 1998.[3]

The club left the Iffley Road rugby football ground, which it shared with Oxford University Rugby Football Club, in 1921 and moved to the nearby Iffley Road Stadium.[3]

The famous club Pegasus of the 1950s was formed from the Oxford and Cambridge University teams.

England internationals

Twenty-two Oxford players were capped for England, including three of the team which took part in the first international match on 30 November 1872: Frederick Chappell, Arnold Kirke-Smith and Cuthbert Ottaway.[1]
