Ruskin Park RFC was formed in 1954, under the name of St Helens Recs, by a group of Rugby enthusiasts at Pilkington Glass, and membership of the club was initially limited to employees of the company. This was soon rescinded, and the club welcomed all players to its ranks, which resulted in the club being very successful both on the field and off it.
The first two presidents of the club were Lord Pilkington and Lord Cozens Hardy which was quite an auspicious beginning for a small club.
The club changed its name to Ruskin Park in the 1970's to avoid confusion the many other sides in the region with a similar name but continued to attract other players from the area.
