GROUNDS

Established in 1964, Richmond Athletic AFC was the result of 2 local Nelson clubs merging and becoming one. The two clubs were around since about 1948, but made the decision to join based on player availability in the region at the time. Since 1964, the home ground of Richmond Athletic has been Jubilee Park.
