Founded in 1866, Harlequins is one of the most iconic rugby clubs globally. Recognised around the world, we are proud to be a founding member of the RFU, boasting more Presidents than any other club, as well as a healthy dose of current and legendary Men s and Women s international players.

As leaders of the game, we are ambitious to build on our success. To do this we move at tempo, we are unconventional in our thinking and approach, and we recognise the value that each role in the team plays in delivering success.
