Stavanger Rugby Klubb is a Norwegian rugby & league club based in Stavanger, Norway. They currently compete in the Norwegian Rugby Championship 15´s & 7´s.

History

The club was founded in 1978. Currently the club has 3 junior teams, U10, U14 and U18 after the recent addition of the Berserkers group to SRK, a women's senior team and a men's senior team. The club has been especially successful in the last ten years, winning numerous national competitions, an international competition and supplying several players to the Norwegian national team, such as Kristoffer Borsheim (the player with the most matches played in the history of the Norwegian national rugby team), Benjamin Brøndmo or Nikola Saeby. Also the women's team has contributed regularly to the women´s national team with players like Ingrid Ringrud (current SRK women's captain), Gunvor Romsbotn or Linn Terese Kolnes. Since 2011 the club trains during the season on Lassa, a natural grass field. However, during the winter and due to the Norwegian weather, the club has trained at Hinna park (astroturf field) close to the Viking FK training facilities.


The club has been recently very successful in 7-a-side, winning National championships in Senior men and U18 Juniors.
