The major sport of the Michaelmas term, Dulwich College rugby has long enjoyed a powerful reputation. The school began its rugby tradition with a 1–0 victory over [[City of London School]] in 1859, 12 years before the founding of the [[Rugby Football Union]]. Since that time the school has had upwards of 30 Old Alleynians play at full international level, with more playing at schoolboy international level, national reserve and professional club rugby as well as representatives for invitational sides such as [[Barbarian FC|the Barbarians]].

Three [[British and Irish Lions]] have emerged from the college. 1909 featured an unbeaten first XV which contained five future internationals dubbed the "Famous Five". Between 2012 and 2014, Dulwich College won the [[RFU National Schools Cup|Natwest Schools Cup]] (previously known as the Daily Mail Cup) three times in a row, then in 2017 secured an historic double, becoming the first ever team to win both the schools cup (in the years mentioned) and the Champions Trophy,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/search-results?competition=1767&division=11303&season=2017-2018#results |title=Fixtures & Results |publisher=[[Rugby Football Union]] |access-date=3 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240803104657/https://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/search-results?competition=1767&division=11303&season=2017-2018#results |archive-date=3 August 2024}}</ref> the highest Tier of School Cup Rugby.<ref>Jan Piggot (2008), ''Dulwich College: A History, 1616–2008'', {{ISBN|0-9539493-2-X}}.</ref>
