Exeter Rugby Club has been known as the Exeter Chiefs since 1999, but the team’s history dates all the way back to 1871.
It only took nine years for Exeter Rugby Club to win their first title, as the team clinched the Devon Cup in 1890. Ever since, the club has been a trailblazer. In 1905, Exeter Rugby Club hosted the first match played by the New Zealand national team on English soil. The match is actually one of the most iconic in rugby union history, because this was the game when New Zealand were first referred to as the ‘All Blacks’.

During the professional era of rugby union Exeter Rugby Club have been highly successful. The side won the National League 2 South in 1996 and National League 1 in 1997. Following a rebrand to the Exeter Chiefs in 1999, the team has won the RFU Championship once in 2010 and the Premiership in 2017 and 2020. This means that the Exeter Chiefs are the only rugby union side to win all of the top four tiers of English rugby. In addition, the side has also won the Anglo-Welsh Cup twice (most recently in 2018), and the Heineken Cup (European Rugby Champions Cup) once, in 2020.
