Wasps FC is the amateur side of the Wasps rugby union club formed in 1867. The men's first team was split from Wasps FC at the turn of professionalism, for the 1996-97 season, to become Wasps RFC, owned by Chris Wright, and later became London Wasps in the summer of 1999. The team currently play their rugby in Herts & Middlesex 1. Wasps FC own the Twyford Avenue Sports Ground that is also used by the London Wasps professional teams for training.

[edit] 2009-10 Season
The 2009-10 season was a very successful one for Wasps FC. Fielding two senior men's sides the 1st XV won promotion from Herts & Middlesex 1 into London 3 North West, and the 2nd XV won the Middlesex Merit Table 5 League, gaining promotion into the Middlesex Merit Table 4 league in the process. On the back of these successes it was announced the club would once again be fielding a 3rd XV for the 2010-11 season.

In 2010-11 the 1st XV was unfortunately related from London 3 North West back to Herts & Middlesex 1. The 2nd XV competed in Middlesex Merit Table 4 league.
