This article refers to the rugby league team. For the American football team, please see Oxford Cavaliers.

The Oxford Cavaliers rugby league team was one of the eight founder members of the Rugby League Conference. This league now has well over sixty teams across England and Wales.

The team is noteworthy as a pioneer of rugby league in the south of England.

In their brief history Oxford Cavaliers have managed to supply players to professional clubs, such as Rob Castle to the London Skolars and Daryl Griffin to Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. They continue to be the only open Rugby League club in the city, although there is also an Oxford University Rugby League team that represents both Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University.
