Rugby football was played in Machen from the early 1870s, but Machen RFC can be placed as playing as a club from the early 1880's. One of the club's earliest and most notable players was Frank Purdon, who would later go on to play from Newport and Wales.

The club has two notable local rivalries with Risca and Bedwas.
