Real Madrid Rugby was the rugby union section of Spanish Real Madrid C.F. Established in 1924, the team achieved 4 unofficial regional titles and 1 Copa del Rey title in 1934, before being closed in 1948.[1]
Although the section is currently extinct, there were some attempts to re-introduce the practise of rugby, but they were not finally carried out, including an unsuccessful agreement with rugby club CRC Madrid to have a team representing them at División de Honor, the first division of Spanish rugby.[2]
