It is the home of Hawick Rugby Football Club, who currently play in the Scottish Premiership and Border League. The grandstand at Mansfield Park holds 1,400 spectators and is the biggest rugby club stand in the Borders.

In recent years two thousand or more might attend on three or four games each season, including the sevens in April.
