The University of Western Australia Rugby Club, also known as the UWA Rugby Club, is an Australian semi-professional rugby club based in Perth, Western Australia and is associated with the University of Western Australia (UWA). The club competes in the RugbyWA Premier Grade, the highest-tier of rugby exclusively played within the state of Western Australia.

The club was created in 1929 ahead of a match between Claremont-Cottesloe No. 2 that was played on Claremont Oval.^[5] This was also the teams first season. The club won two out of ten games in the A Grade division, finishing second-last.^[5] Cottesloe is also acknowledged to be the oldest rival of UWA, known as the "Original Feud".^[6]

Since the inclusion of the Perth-based Western Force rugby team into the Super Rugby competition in 2006, many players from the Western Force are "allocated" or "assigned" to a Premier Grade club such as the UWA Rugby Club.
