They are actually pretty similar in size. Rugby balls are slightly "fatter" in the middle:

An American football is about 11 inches (28 cm) long and about 22 inches (56 cm) in circumference at the center.

A Rugby ball is approximately 27 cm long and 60 cm in circumference at its widest point.

A Rugby union football is 28–30 cm (11–12 in) long and 58–62 cm (23–24 in) in circumference at its widest point.
