Abstract We report the discovery of superconductivity on the border of antiferromagnetic order in a quasi-one-dimensional material RbMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ via measurements of resistivity and magnetic susceptibility under high pressures. Its phase diagram of temperature versus pressure resembles those of many magnetism-mediated superconducting systems. With increasing pressure, its antiferromagnetic ordering transition with $T_{\rm N} = 83$ K at ambient pressure is first enhanced moderately and then suppressed completely at a critical pressure of $P_{\rm c} \approx 13$ GPa, around which bulk superconductivity emerges and exhibits a dome-like $T_{\rm c}(P)$ with a maximal $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset} \approx 9.5$ K at about 15 GPa. In addition, the superconducting state around $P_{\rm c}$ is characterized by a large upper critical field $\mu_{0}H_{\rm c2}(0)$ exceeding the Pauli paramagnetic limit, implying a possible unconventional paring mechanism. The present study, together with our recent work on KMn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ (the maximum $T_{\rm c}^{\rm onset} \approx 9.3$ K), makes $A$Mn$_{6}$Bi$_{5}$ ($A$ = alkali metal) a new family of Mn-based superconductors with relatively high $T_{\rm c}$.
