Rugby Club Sitges is a Catalan rugby union team based in Sitges that competes in the Divisió d'Honor Catalana, the third-tier in the State.

History

The team was founded in 1987.

In 2002, the club moved to the Santa Bàrbara field in the north of the town,[1] and this was renovated in 2022 thanks to money from Sitges City Council.

Before 2022, they played home fixtures in nearby Viladecans.

The club won their most recent trophy when being champions of the Divisió d'Honor Catalana in 2021.[2] [3]

They were relegated back to the third division of rugby in the State, however, in 2023.[4]

The ground held the Catalan Supercup between UE Santboiana and FC Barcelona Rugby.[5]
