Harlequins RFC
The Harlequins were established in 1866 and, playing in the renowned multicoloured shirts, Quins are synonymous with quality, class and style. This is summed up by the Club's adage "When you play – play with style"
The Quins play at the Stoop Memorial Ground in Twickenham. The Stoop is named after Adrian Stoop who played for the Quins and captained England in the years leading up to the First World War. It has been the home to some of the most famous names in World rugby and they have had 18 members who have gone on to be President of the Rugby Football Union.
Rugby League status was introduced in 1987 and the Quins have maintained their status as one of the top 12 Clubs in England, playing in the Premier Division. They have also experienced great success in Europe and in the Middlesex Sevens.
The Club&apos's long and successful history speaks for itself. It is a community based club that is very family orientated.
In the 2006 – 7 Season the Quins will be playing in the premiership.
