Gernika Rugby Taldea is a Basque rugby team based in Gernika, Bizkaia which play in the Spanish League. The team was set up by some rugby supporters of the unfortunately bombed village, and is enjoying a steady rise in popularity in the region.[1]

For the 2012–13 season, Gernika took part in the European Challenge Cup. Despite finishing fifth in the División de Honor in 2011–12 and losing in the playoff semifinals, Gernika were tapped for the Challenge Cup when the sides finishing ahead of them bowed out due to financial constraints.[1]
