The Ceylonese Rugby & Football Club was founded in 1922 by Colonel E. H. Joseph. It was the first rugby only playing institution in the country at the time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://crandfc.lk/front/club/?f=cms&id=3 )〕 The club had its first roots in Nondescripts Cricket Club (NCC) and in its first four years depended on NCC and Havelock Sports Club for their practices and matches.
Prominent names in Sri Lankan society took part in the committee of the inaugural Annual General Meeting which was held in 1923. They were the Schokmans, Rockwoods, Saravanamutthu, Weinman, and Ondatjie to name a few. The 1st captain was Dr. L. O. Weinman, while the vice-captain was Rajah Hewavitharana.
After the end of the First World War the Clifford Cup was re-introduced, and CR & FC lost to the United Services team by 3-6. Ceylonese Rugby & Football Club continued to flourish over the next decades with schoolboys from Trinity College, Royal College, Zahira College, St Peter's College, St Thomas' College, and subsequently, Issipathana have represented the club with great distinction. The new clubhouse was opened in December 1964 and the main gate was opened in 1965.
