Kadñköy Rugby was founded by the joint efforts of a group of fellow students from Uskudar Anadolu Lisesi and ex-ðstanbul Ottomans rugby player Mert Ataray in early 2006. The establishment of the team quickly drew attention of the lively, hot blooded youth of Kadñköy district and soon settled itself as the future of Turkish rugby. Kadñköy is well known to be symbolized with its bull icon standing in the district square, which was more than suitable to identify the spirit of the team, and the asperity of the rugby sport itself, and quickly became an inspiration to the club's emblem and nickname.
Right after being established, the club registered itself to the Turkish Federation of Rugby, Baseball, Softball and American Football to become the first official rugby club in Turkey.
Today, Kadñköy Rugby is one of the power house in Turkish Rugby. After reaching the final in 2014 and winning the Istanbul 7s tournament, Kadñköy Rugby will be looking to win this season league, launch a Women s team and will be looking to start a Youth section for the season 2015/2016. the primary goal of the club is to encourage rugby nationwide by their campaign to help the founding of new rugby clubs, setting up a national league and to make ground for Turkey national rugby union team as soon as possible.
In the 2024 season, Kadñköy Rugby won its first official 15-a-side league championship in club history by defeating Hacettepe Rugby 24-0 in the final of the Turkish 15-a-side Rugby League.
In the 2025 season, Kadñköy Rugby defended its title by winning the men's 15-a-side Rugby League championship once again. The final matches were played at the EsenboÃÂa Sports Complex in Ankara, where Kadñköy Rugby defeated Ottomans Rugby with a decisive score of 45-14. Throughout the 2025 season, the team stood out with its disciplined defense, extensive squad rotation, and contributions from players developed from the youth ranks.
