Over 50 players have been awarded full international honours since 1945, and countless others have represented their County and District. 1979-80 saw a Cumbrian first when Peter Knowles was awarded the BARLA Player of the Year and 1985-86 saw another Cumbrian first when Millom played Mysons of Hull in the BARLA National Cup Final. In November 1986 Millom gave Wakefield Trinity a scare losing 14-8 in the John Player Trophy.

Recently the club have added a new set of changing facilities to its impressive Devonshire Road home, when together with Sport England Lottery Money, a grant from the Cumbria Regeneration Board and the local town and district council, the finances were found and the building completed and opened by HRH Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh.

Millom is a club steeped in tradition and the first team currently plays in the National Conference League Division 2, with the A team representing the club in the Barrow and District League. As well as the open age teams, Millom also has a thriving youth set-up with teams at U8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 level playing in the local competitions.

Recent years have brought mixed fortunes to the Millom club with the A team being Barrow League Champions in 2001-2002 whilst the first team have been at the bottom of Division 2 in recent times. The past couple of seasons have seen the team develop, finishing mid table for the past few years.
