There was previously rugby at Crieff. At the end of the 19th century there was a club known as St. Michael's Guild Rugby Club from around 1889 which then became Crieff rugby club.[1]
This side went defunct but there was another attempt to create a Crieff rugby club, based around ex-players of the Crieff Academy around 1896.[1]
From the 1920s there was another Crieff club based on ex-Morrisons Academy players. Known as the Morrisonian club or Morrison Academy F.P., the club played to at least the mid-1930s and it seems likely it did not survive the Second World War.[2]
The present club was founded in 1972, and the club celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2022.[3]
In the 2012/13 season, they celebrated their first ever league title as a club. Winning the Caledonia Regional League 4 and going unbeaten throughout the campaign.[4] Their second league title would come in the 2023/24 season in the league above, as Crieff & Strathearn won 13 of their 14 games and finished 11 points clear at the top of the table.[5]
The club runs a men's and women's side and a minis side (Primary 1–7).[6]
The men train on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7.00pm to 8:30pm, the minis train on Saturday morning from 9am.[6]
The club runs the Crieff Sevens. The teams compete for the Robin McNeil Cup.[7]
