Full name
  
Amman United Rugby Football Club

Amman United Rugby Football Club is a Welsh rugby union team from the Amman valley north of Swansea. The club plays at Cwmamman Recreation Ground between Garnant and Glanamman; before the coal-mining boom the two towns were a single village called Cwmamman.

The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Scarlets regional team. Amman United has supplied several players to the Wales rugby union team including Claude Davey and Tom Day and in Trevor Evans, one member of the British and Irish Lions.

Amman United came second in the WRU Division Four West and were promoted in 2012; by the end of the year they were leading WRU Division Three West. Shane Williams, the record try scorer for Wales, still lives in the area and continues his involvement in the club. He has bought an industrial unit in Station Road which he plans to convert into the Amman Valley Centre, a CrossFit-franchised gym with bike hire and other facilities.
