Alqatara Rugby Club Andalucía called Helvetia Rugby for reasons of sponsorship, was a Spanish rugby team from Seville, founded in 2014 by a collaboration agreement between the CAR Sevilla and Unión Aljarafe Sevilla to compete in the División de Honor B. The team was disbanded in 2017 at the end of the collaboration agreement.

History

Although the club was founded in 2014, its origin lies in the joining of forces of the CAR Sevilla and the Unión Aljarafe Sevilla that in 2007 they pooled their resources and their best players to compete as a single team in the second division of national rugby, maintaining their independence at regional level and lower categories. That single team already had the sponsorship of Helvetia and was known as such. In 2014 Alqatara was registered as a new club in the Andalusian Rugby Federation, receiving the license to compete in the Division of Honor B that was ceded by Club Amigos del Rugby, and registering both to the C.A.R. like the C.D. Mairena as a subsidiary team.

In 2016 the Club de Rugby San Jerónimo, also from the Andalusian capital, became Alqatara's third affiliate club. Until 2017 when the collaboration between the founding clubs ended.
