Nuneaton RFC is thrilled to confirm its official return to the Liberty Way Stadium Pitch following the signing of a new licence agreement with Arden Tigress. This momentous development marks the club’s re-establishment at its historic ground revitalising its presence and unlocking fresh opportunities for rugby in the heart of Warwickshire. It also indicates how the newly elected committee is committed to developing an ambitious sustainable strategy to ensure a bright future for Nuneaton RFC.
The agreement ensures consistent access to top tier playing facilities for all Nuneaton RFC teams, from mini and junior to senior squads. Significantly, all 1st XV home fixtures in Regional 1 Midlands will now be hosted on the Stadium pitch, marking a proud return for the club’s senior team. It reflects a renewed commitment to the Club's prestige and reputation; inclusive sport and community partnership; and the future of grassroots rugby.

To celebrate the return, club volunteers have undertaken a stadium refresh and facilities improvement, bringing care and pride back to the pitch surroundings. Special thanks go to:
• Andy Ambrose, for his tireless efforts in maintaining the grounds and pitches
• Andy Ellis, for assembling a fantastic painting crew: Rikk Harrison, Tim Allen-Stubbs, and Gareth Evans.
Acknowledgements
Nuneaton RFC extends sincere gratitude to those who championed the journey back:
• Councillor Jonathon Collett
• Neil Robinson
• The wider club membership and supporters, whose belief and involvement proved vital throughout.
